conferma

Conferma is an Italian noun meaning confirmation, corroboration, or proof that something is true or accepted. It is used to indicate that a statement, an arrangement, or a payment has been verified or acknowledged. The word derives from Latin confirmare, formed from com- “together” and firmare “to make firm,” and is related to the English verb confirm.

Conferma is feminine in gender; the plural form is conferme. It is commonly used in everyday phrases such as conferma di una prenotazione (a reservation confirmation) or conferma di pagamento. In computing and digital interfaces, a button labeled "Conferma" is often shown to authorize an action.

In addition to its general sense, conferma has specific linguistic uses and appears with verbs such as confermare (to confirm). There are also longer terms related to particular contexts, such as confermazione, which in the Catholic Church refers to the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Overall, conferma denotes the act or result of making something definite or officially accepted, whether in personal, administrative, or technical contexts.
