Usage notes
- Use cammino for a journey or life/spiritual path; for a physical road or trail, percorso, sentiero, or strada are often more natural.
- In religion and self-help, cammino is very common: un cammino di fede, un cammino interiore. It sounds more abstract than passeggiata.
- Don't confuse cammino (noun) with cammino/camminò from the verb camminare; context and articles like il usually make the noun clear.
