How are you wanting to use it?

This discussion has some inherent ambiguity because most English speakers (in America, anyway) use the word aggravate incorrectly. Aggravate means to make something worse. It does NOT mean to annoy / anger, which is how most speakers use it colloquially. At least, that's what I learned in English class 20 years ago . . .

This is an interesting discussion. I'm not sure if I understand all the Spanish sentences. Please tell me if I translate them correctly. / Esta discusion es muy interesante. No estoy cierta que entienda todas estas frases. Favor de decirme si las traduzco correctamente.

To increase the weight of something (to weigh down)

To make more serious something which already exists (to worsen a cold)

To add conditions to an event with the result of making it more servious (Legal Recourse: The Treasury aggravates crime by adding new elements) [I'm really not sure about this one!]

The state increases its property [or property in general? I'm confused] (in fiscal matterial, application of taxes: assessment)

Hola Pamela, por lo que entiendo estas buscando la utilidad práctica de la palabra agravamiento en español, me gustaría comentar que su uso es muy variado y tiene diferentes "formas", según el contexto:
Agravación es la acción o efecto de agravar algo.

Aumentar el peso de algo (agravar).

Hacer más grave algo que ya lo era (agravarse, una enfermedad).

Agregar condiciones a un suceso a fin de hacerlo más grave (Recurso legal: El Fiscal agrava el delito al aportar nuevos elementos).

El estado agravan la propiedad ( en materia fiscal aplicación de impuestos: gravámen)
Espéro no "agravar" tu confusión....

But "agravación" is a noun, not an adjective, so the temporary theory doesn't work here.

I thought I was so smart with estar, thinking it was temporary.
