Usage notes
- Usually follows the noun in everyday Italian: una scelta audace. Before the noun is possible, but sounds more literary or emphatic.
- Use audace for praise or neutral admiration. For clearly negative tones, temerario, avventato, or sfrontato are often more precise.
- Agree it normally: audace/audaci. The singular form is the same for masculine and feminine: un ragazzo audace, una ragazza audace.
