Usage notes
- Usually refers to a system or institutional structure, not a single device. For one machine, prefer dispositivo, apparecchio, or strumento.
- Common in formal, technical, medical, and bureaucratic contexts; less common in casual speech unless naming body systems or state institutions.
- In anatomy, use fixed combinations like apparato digerente or apparato respiratorio; learners often confuse it with sistema in these contexts.
