Usage notes
- Use angelo for both religious angels and figurative praise: Sei un angelo! = You're an angel.
- Gender is masculine: un angelo, gli angeli. For a female person used figuratively, the noun usually stays angelo.
- Don't confuse angelo with anima or spirito: those mean soul/spirit, not the winged being.
