Usage Note
Fluorescente describes both scientific fluorescence and the vivid 'neon' colours used in design and clothing — giallo fluorescente is the common word for highlighter-yellow. The sc before e is pronounced 'sh', so the word is floo-oh-REH-shen-teh, not 'floo-or-ES-sent'.
Examples
"Indossa una giacca verde fluorescente."
Natural Translation
She is wearing a fluorescent green jacket.
