Usage Note

Trascurare takes avere as its auxiliary. It means to neglect, ignore, or fail to attend to something — trascurare la salute ('to neglect one's health'). The reflexive trascurarsi means to neglect oneself. A close synonym is tralasciare (to leave out), but trascurare implies ongoing negligence whereas tralasciare suggests a one-time omission.

Examples

"Non dovresti trascurare la tua salute."
