Usage notes
- Affitto is the noun. For the action, Italians often say prendere in affitto or dare in affitto, not just use affittare alone.
- Use in affitto for 'for rent' on signs. Da affittare exists, but in affitto is much more common in everyday language.
- Canone d'affitto is the monthly rent amount; affitto alone can mean either the arrangement or the payment, depending on context.
