Usage Note
Ovvio (f ovvia, pl ovvi/ovvie) can be used predicatively — È ovvio che ha ragione (It's obvious he's right) — or attributively: una risposta ovvia (an obvious answer). The phrase è ovvio often carries a mildly dismissive tone, implying the speaker finds something self-evident or even tedious.
Examples
"La soluzione era ovvia fin dall'inizio."
Natural Translation
