Usage notes
- Use evidente for something clearly noticeable. For logical certainty, ovvio is often more natural.
- Common structure: è evidente che + clause. Subjunctive may appear in formal Italian, but indicative is very common in speech.
- It agrees in gender and number: evidente, evidenti. No separate masculine/feminine singular forms.
