Slang USED Frequently BY Young People
(n.) It means "boyfriend" or "girlfriend". It is mainly used in the northern regions of Italy, like Veneto or Friuli.
Note: If you use it in most contexts people will automatically assume you're talking about your partner (even if you're not in North Italy), but pay attention for formal contexts because the term "moroso" also means "to be in debt" in legal terms.
"Ad ogni pranzo la nonna mi chiede se ho trovato la morosa"
"At every lunch (my) grandmother asks me if I've found a girlfriend yet"
