Usage notes
- Use aula for institutional rooms like schools, universities, or courts; for a generic room, stanza or sala is usually more natural.
- In schools, aula often means the class’s assigned room, not the group of students; that is classe.
- Aula can sound formal outside school contexts, especially in legal or academic language.
