Italian word

decente

decent, acceptable, respectable

Looks like

decent

conforming to accepted standards; adequate

⚠️ The trap

Good match overall, but 'decente' in Italian often carries a stronger sense of social respectability and can be slightly judgmental. In informal English 'decent' can mean 'pretty good', which in Italian would be 'non male' or 'abbastanza buono'.

To say "conforming to accepted standards; adequate" in Italian:

decente

"decente" in English means:

decent, acceptable, respectable

Example

"Almeno mettiti qualcosa di decente."

"At least put on something decent."
