Usage notes
- Often used as an emotional intensifier before a noun: maledetto traffico. Stronger and harsher than dannato in many contexts.
- It agrees in gender and number: maledetto, maledetta, maledetti, maledette.
- As an insult or exclamation, it sounds informal and fairly strong; avoid it in formal writing.
