arenato

Today's Parola del Giorno is the adjective, arenato, which means:

• stuck
• stumped

It doesn't mean "stuck" in the literal sense (like you stepped in glue or something sticky and can't move), but "stuck" in the figurative sense -- like you can't figure something out.

You can see the adjective used in its context below:

Stasera la professoressa di matematica ci ha dato degli esercizi molto difficili . Sono arenato! Non riesco a svolgerli!

Tonight the math teacher gave us some very difficult exercises. I am stuck! I am unable to solve them!
