Today’s Parola del giorno is the adjective svogliato. It can mean listless as well as indolent or lazy.

It comes from the noun la voglia, which means desire or willingness.

Remember that the opposite meaning for many Italian nouns, verbs, and adjectives can involve placing an s- before the word.

Can you think of some other words whose meaning changes when you place an s- before the word?
