Usage notes
- Use figlia for your or someone’s female child; ragazza usually means girl/young woman, not daughter.
- Irregular plural: figlie. With possessives for close family, usually no article: mia figlia, tua figlia.
- In family contexts, figlia can mean biological, adopted, or stepdaughter if the relationship is clear from context.
