Usage notes
- Use violento for physical force, storms, impacts, or strong emotional reactions; for rude behavior, aggressivo or brusco may fit better.
- It agrees in gender and number: violento, violenta, violenti, violente.
- Common with nouns like temporale, scontro, reazione, dolore. Italian often prefers a specific noun-phrase over using it alone.
