Usage notes
- For a political office, use consigliere comunale/regionale. Consigliere alone can sound vague without context.
- For a trusted adviser, consigliere is formal or institutional; in everyday speech, consulente or advisor may fit better depending on the role.
- The feminine form is usually consigliera for a woman, though some institutions still use consigliere as invariable.
