Notas de uso
- More literary and stronger than sorpresa; often used for serious bad news, shocking events, or moral outrage.
- Common with verbs like provare, suscitare, lasciare in; less natural in casual speech than shock or panico.
- Usually singular and uncountable: provare sgomento, not un sgomento in most contexts.
