penoso

Il vecchio castello versa in uno stato penoso.

The old castle is in a sorry state.

Penoso.

Painful.

Era penoso.

It was pitiful.

È stato molto penoso per tutti, Vostra Maestà.

It was very painful for everyone, Your Majesty.

— L'ultimo imperatore (1987)

Pensavo fosse una cosa fica, ma è penoso.

I thought it was a cool thing, but it's pathetic.

Era già penoso per me.

It was already painful for me.
