See below Explanation: Cursed, unlucky, jinxed. "Sfiga" means bad luck or a jinx - someone defined as sfigato has generally either suffered a long string of rough luck or a particularly bad set of coinciding circumstances. Italians often use the word to express sympathy for the unlucky individual. "Che povero sfigato!" |
