Usage notes
- Old-fashioned or literary; in modern everyday Italian, figlia is far more common.
- Can sound affectionate, rustic, or regional, especially in direct address: Figliola, ascolta.
- Do not confuse it with figliolo, the masculine counterpart; both are marked and not neutral everyday choices.
