mollare

Parola del giorno

Today’s Parola del giorno is the verb mollare, which can mean to dump, to walk out on, or to leave.

Italian has a lot of clever verbs to deal with getting dumped and breaking up — I plan to do a more detailed post next week on this topic. But, for now, here is today’s verb!

See the expression used below:

Dopo una settimana con il suo cagnolino e un po’ di spazio per capire le sue emozioni, Davide ha capito meglio le ragioni per cui sua moglie lo ha mollato.

After a week with his puppy and a bit of space to understand his feelings, David better understood the reasons why his wife left him.
