Is this word used only in a vulgar way?
I am sorry for writing this, but my Italian friend used the word and Wiktionary says it's a vulgar word - "figa".
My friend doesn't seem to use vulgar words, so I am wondering...

Well, it's never a "polite" o "formal" word but it has different meanings and depending on the meaning it is more or less vulgar. Most vulgar meaning is women's private parts. Second meaning, and of very common use, is of a "sexy"/"very beautiful" woman - we have also the masculine word for that, "figo". Third meaning: in the north of Italy people often say "figa" while speaking but it doesn't really mean anything, it's just an expression like "caspita" I think

Well, it may also mean "cool" when it's referred to an inanimate thing (if it's referred to a woman it means "hot" instead) and in this case I'd say it's less vulgar. But although I feel quite comfortable with using the masculine term "figo" with the meaning of "cool" basically whenever I want, I'd be much more cautious about using the feminine counterpart because of that other connotation. And in general I feel it's much less frequent for this reason. You know, it might sound quite awkward sometimes.

@Merunika it’s not a formal word for sure. It can be vulgar, it depends on how you use it. “Figa” can mean pussy but it can also be used for a very cool and “lit” thing or for describing a hot girl (in this case it’s kinda vulgar i guess, but it depends who is using it u know). In the north italy usually and in Milan in particular “figa” can be used as an exclamation and it can be translated with “damn” but it’s not really the same thing.
