arousing intense feeling; relating to emotions

⚠️ The trap

In Italian 'emotivo' primarily describes people (an emotional, reactive person). English 'emotive' describes topics or language (an emotive speech). Italians say 'un argomento emotivo' less often than 'un argomento delicato'.

To say "arousing intense feeling; relating to emotions" in Italian:

emotivo (mostly used for people — an emotional person)

"emotivo" in English means:

emotional, easily moved by emotions, emotionally reactive

Example

"È una persona molto emotiva — si commuove facilmente."

"She is a very emotional person — she gets moved easily."
