⚠️ The trap
The feelings meaning overlaps, but in Italian 'alienato' historically meant 'mentally insane', an archaic usage that can still be understood. Also used in legal language for property transfer. The modern emotional meaning does exist but may carry unintended connotations.
To say "feeling isolated or estranged" in Italian:
N/A (partial overlap)
"alienato" in English means:
alienated; legally transferred (property); mentally ill (archaic)
Example
"Si sente alienato dal resto del gruppo."
"He feels alienated from the rest of the group."
