Usage notes
- Very formal and literary; in everyday Italian, speakers usually prefer tale, simile, or del genere.
- Usually comes before the noun: siffatto comportamento. After the noun sounds especially elevated or rhetorical.
- It agrees like a normal adjective: siffatto, siffatta, siffatti, siffatte.
