Usage notes
- Use ragionevole for proposals, prices, deadlines, or expectations. For a person, sensato is often more natural in everyday speech.
- Ragionevole usually means moderate or fair, not just 'logical'. For strict logical reasoning, razionale is often a better choice.
- It agrees in gender and number: ragionevole, ragionevoli. Don't confuse it with ragionevolmente, the adverb.
