Usage notes
- Most often means proud: fiero di + noun/infinitive. Use orgoglioso as a close synonym; fiero can sound slightly more elevated or emphatic.
- Agree it normally: fiero, fiera, fieri, fiere. Before vowels, masculine singular is often fiero, not elided.
- The older sense 'fierce' survives in literary or fixed contexts; for everyday 'fierce/cruel,' prefer feroce.
