aspasimanti

presumably the plural of aspasimante, but what does it mean? Came across it in an informal communication, so it could be slang or misspelt.

maybe you mean spasimante - spasimanti

usually it's meaning is
(innamorato) lovesick
(ammiratore) admirer, (uomo) suitor
* dice di avere molti spasimanti, she says she has many suitors.

a less common meaning of spasimante is suffering, tortured, racked with pain

hope this helps

Makes sense in the context. With the a and the s next to each other on the keyboard could easily be a typo. Thanks!

Or maybe "a (English indefinite article) spasimante (Italian word)"?
