gocciare

Parola del giorno | Word of the day

Thank you, everyone, for being patient with me while I process my grief. I have been feeling better over the last few weeks and plan to spend more time on the blog and finishing up some projects related to it.

Today's Parola del Giorno is the verb, gocciare, which means to drip.

This verb is a synonym for gocciolare and is said to be less common than gocciolare, but, in the last two weeks, I have heard it used about three times around Rome.

I figured it was worth sharing! See the verb used below in its context:

Il lavandino del bagno perde da due giorni: goccia sul pavimento e devo sempre pulire per terra. Domani chiamo l'idraulico

The sink in the bathroom has been leaking for two days: it is dripping on the floor, and I always have to wipe up the ground. Tomorrow I will call the plumber.
