Usage notes
- More formal than di oggi or attuale; common in journalism, essays, and official language, less in casual conversation.
- Usually placed before the noun: l'odierna situazione, il mondo odierno. Postposed use sounds marked or literary.
- Don't confuse with attuale: attuale often means current/in force; odierno strongly ties something to today or the present day.
