Usage notes

  • Use comitato for an organized group with a specific purpose; consiglio often means a governing council, and giunta is an executive body.
  • Usually followed by di or per: comitato di quartiere, comitato per la sicurezza. English-style noun stacking sounds unnatural.
  • It is masculine: il comitato, i comitati. Learners sometimes guess feminine because many group nouns in -a are feminine.
