Buondì!
Today’s Parola del giorno is the verb tergiversare, which means to pussyfoot around or to prevaricate. You would use this verb to describe an action where someone is deliberately avoiding a question or truth about something.
See the verb used below:
Quando la cameriera è ritornata al nostro tavolo per la terza volta, Marco continuava a tergiversare, non riusciva ancora a scegliere un primo piatto per la cena.
When the waitress came back to our table for the third time, Marco continued to hem and haw, still unable to select a dish for dinner.
