Usage notes
- For a factual claim, affermazione is more formal than frase or commento; in everyday speech, people often prefer dichiarazione or quello che ha detto.
- In legal, academic, or journalistic contexts, affermazione is common for quoted claims that may be disputed.
- For personal success, use it mostly in set phrases like affermazione professionale; successo is broader and more common in conversation.
