Usage notes
- Common in formal writing, presentations, and school contexts; in casual speech, speakers often prefer sottolineare or far notare.
- Use evidenziare with direct objects: evidenziare un problema, un punto, una differenza. Less natural with people as objects.
- In computing or reading, evidenziare often means select or highlight text, not just emphasize an idea.
