⚠️ The trap

'Ignorare' in Italian primarily means 'to be unaware / not to know'. To say you are ignoring someone on purpose, use 'non badare a' or 'fare finta di non vedere'.

To say "to deliberately pay no attention to something" in Italian:

ignorare = to not know; non badare a = to ignore

"ignorare" in English means:

to not know, to be unaware of

Example

"Ignoro la sua esistenza — non so nulla di lui."

"I am unaware of his existence — I know nothing about him."
