Italian language question.

I’m wondering about the word eccitata. Does this mean “excited” as in being excited about something? I know in French excite` has sexual connotations.

I double-checked in my bilingual dictionary. It means excited or aroused, so it could plausibly be used as just “normal” excited but it does have sexual connotations. exitado/exitada is the same in Spanish.

Thanks. I kind of had a feeling.. I reworded the sentence to avoid using it. :P

An awesome website for italian language questions is www.wordreference.com

They have one of the most comprehensive dictionaries as well as a forum to ask questions about particular words/phrases.

I use it for my Italian translation questions often.
