Notas de uso
- Use veleno for literal poison and also figurative bitterness or malice; in figurative contexts, tossico is often less idiomatic.
- Common with verbs like ingerire, avvelenare, secernere, contenere. You usually say veleno di serpente, not a direct adjective form.
- In speech, sputare veleno means speaking with spite. Don't translate English 'venom' mechanically; Italian often still uses veleno.
