Usage notes
- Use 'fiore' for flowers as plants or decorations; 'fiore' is broader than 'bocciolo' (bud) or 'petalo' (petal).
- Avoid overusing 'fiore' for 'flower' in metaphors—Italian often prefers other terms (e.g., 'primavera' for youth).
- Plural 'fiori' is regular; no irregular forms. 'Fioraia' (female florist) is rare—use 'fiorista' instead.
