saccente

Today’s Parola del Giorno is the adjective, saccente, which means conceited or self-important. See the word used below in its context:

Il professore aveva un tono un po’ saccente quando spiegava… forse รจ per questo che le sue lezioni non mi hanno mai appassionato.

The teacher had a bit of a conceited tone when he was explaining…perhaps it is for this reason his lessons never fascinated me.
