Notas de uso
- Use tragedia for both a literal disaster and a dramatic overreaction: Che tragedia! can sound ironic or exaggerated.
- For personal misfortune, tragedia is stronger than problema or guaio; don't use it for minor inconveniences unless joking.
- In literature and theater, tragedia contrasts with commedia. Capitalized titles may keep the genre sense, like una tragedia greca.
