Usage notes
- Use traditore for betrayal of a person, group, or cause; for cheating in love, infedele is more common in everyday speech.
- It often sounds strong and accusatory. In casual contexts, falso or sleale may fit better than calling someone traditore.
- Feminine form is traditrice. Plural: traditori, traditrici.
