Usage notes
- Often used in formal or written Italian; in everyday speech, "a vicenda" or reflexive forms can sound more natural.
- It agrees like a regular adjective: rapporto reciproco, relazioni reciproche.
- Common with abstract nouns like rispetto, fiducia, interesse, vantaggio; less often used alone in conversation.
