Usage notes
- More formal and literary than solito or abituale; common in writing, news, and official speech.
- Often follows the noun: il consueto appuntamento, la consueta domanda. It must agree in gender and number.
- Use di consueto as an adverbial phrase meaning 'usually'; don't confuse it with the adjective alone.
