Notas de uso

  • Informal: very common in casual Italian among younger speakers.
  • 'Fico' is typical of central Italy. 'Figo' is the equally common northern variant.
  • Careful: as a noun, 'fica'/'figa' is vulgar slang for female genitals. The feminine adjective is used informally, but avoid it in polite company.
