Notas de uso
- As a noun, vecchia is often blunt or rude unless affectionate in family or joking contexts.
- Don't confuse noun vecchia with adjective vecchia: una vecchia donna = an old woman; una donna vecchia sounds less idiomatic.
- For a neutral or respectful tone, prefer anziana or signora anziana.
