Usage notes
- Use frequente for things that happen often or are common; often is often translated by spesso when modifying a verb.
- It agrees in gender and number: frequente, frequenti. The singular form is the same for masculine and feminine.
- Common with essere and nouns: è frequente, un errore frequente. Less natural than spesso directly before many verbs.
