    In Italian, you use the verb 'essere' (to be), not 'avere' (to have), to describe being angry.

  • Sì, sono molto arrabbiata.

    If the speaker is male, the adjective must end in -o. Use 'arrabbiata' only if you are female.

Cultural Tip

Italian communication is often expressive and emotional. While 'arrabbiato' is a standard term, Italians frequently use hand gestures, such as the 'hand purse' (fingertips touching), to emphasize their frustration or to ask 'what do you want from me?' during an argument.
