Notas de uso
- Use feroce for intensity or brutality: un attacco feroce, una critica feroce. For simply “angry,” arrabbiato or furioso is usually better.
- It often works figuratively in journalism and speech: concorrenza feroce, polemica feroce. This use is very common and not overly literary.
- Agreement is regular: feroce/feroci for masculine and feminine. Learners often wrongly expect a separate feminine singular form.
