Usage notes
- Use agricoltore for someone who cultivates land. Contadino is more traditional/rural and can sound old-fashioned or social-class focused.
- For women, use agricoltrice. The plural is agricoltori for mixed groups or men, agricoltrici for all women.
- More formal and neutral than contadino; common in news, administration, and professional contexts.
