Usage notes
- Use recente for things from the near past: eventi recenti, not for people meaning young; use giovane there.
- It usually comes after the noun in fixed collocations like in tempi recenti, but before the noun is also common: una scoperta recente.
- It agrees in gender and number: recente, recenti. No separate feminine singular form.
