ottenenimento

Ottenenimento is not a standard Italian noun in most authoritative sources. The common form is ottenimento, which denotes the act or result of obtaining something. Ottenenimento is usually regarded as a misspelling or nonstandard variant of ottenimento, occasionally appearing in informal writing or due to typographical errors.

Etymology and form

The correct noun derives from the verb ottenere (to obtain) with the nominal suffix -mento, yielding ottenimento. The spelling with an extra “ne” (ottenenimento) does not follow ordinary Italian morphology and is not recognized as correct by standard dictionaries.

Usage and contexts

In correct Italian, ottenimento is used in legal, administrative, academic, and everyday language to refer to obtaining licenses, data, permissions, or results. Examples include l’ottenimento di una licenza (the obtaining of a license) or l’ottenimento di dati. The term is neutral and formal enough for official documents, contracts, and technical writing.

Alternatives and nuance

Synonyms or near-synonyms include acquisizione (acquisition) and conseguimento (achievement or attainment). Acquisizione is broader and often refers to procurement or purchase, while conseguimento emphasizes attainment achieved through effort. The choice depends on nuance and context.

Cross-linguistic note

Italian contiene cognates in other languages, such as obtención in Spanish or obtenção in Portuguese, but those terms are distinct from the Italian ottenimento. Ottenenimento remains nonstandard in Italian and is generally corrected to ottenere ottenuto pattern in proper writing.
