arrogant

having an exaggerated sense of one's own importance

⚠️ The trap

These are identical in meaning. The trap here is for Italians learning English: 'arrogant' in English is exclusively negative. In Italian 'arrogante' also only negative — no trap. But learners should know that 'prepotente' (overbearing, bullying) is a related and commonly used Italian word with a stronger meaning.

To say "having an exaggerated sense of one's own importance" in Italian:

N/A (same meaning)

"arrogante" in English means:

arrogant, haughty, full of oneself

Example

"Il suo capo è arrogante e non ascolta mai i dipendenti."

"Her boss is arrogant and never listens to employees."
