What if I want to say that someone is being mean or nasty on purpose? Is there another translation I can use?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "If you want to convey that someone is being intentionally mean or nasty, you can use the phrase '\u00c8 cattivo' (He is bad) or '\u00c8 crudele' (He is cruel).
