Usage notes
- Very common in formal or business Italian. In everyday speech, reply is usually risposta; feedback is often feedback or parere.
- Conferma di ricezione is more explicit for acknowledging receipt. Riscontro sounds broader and more bureaucratic.
- Often used in fixed phrases like avere riscontro or in attesa di un riscontro. Less common in casual conversation.
