Usage notes

  • Use filosofico for ideas, debates, or tone. For a university subject, filosofia is the noun; don't use the adjective alone.
  • It agrees in gender and number: filosofico, filosofica, filosofici, filosofiche.
  • Often sounds fairly formal or intellectual; in casual speech, riflessivo may fit better for a thoughtful person.
