Tagliente

Tagliente is an Italian word that translates to "cutting," "sharp," or "incisive" in English. It can be used literally to describe the edge of a physical object, such as a knife or blade, that is capable of cutting. Figuratively, it can describe a person's wit, remarks, or intellect as being sharp, penetrating, and often critical. The word carries connotations of keenness, precision, and sometimes, a biting or sarcastic quality. In some contexts, "tagliente" can also suggest a decisive or uncompromising nature.
