Today's Parola del Giorno is the verb apostrofare, which means to reproach or to rebuke someone.

The past participle is apostrofato.  Avere is used in compound tenses.

When conjugated in the present tense, the stress is on the first “o”: apostrofo, apostrofi, apostrofa…apostrofano.

See the verb used below:

Ieri alla conferenza stampa il ministro Brunetta ha apostrofato i dipendenti pubblici come "fannulloni". È  stata davvero un'uscita poco felice!

Yesterday at the press conference Minister Brunetta rebuked public employees as "slouches".  It was really an ill-chosen remark!
