Usage notes
- Use completo after a noun or with essere: un corso completo, il dossier è completo. It agrees in gender and number: completo/completa/completi/complete.
- For people, completo often means fully dressed or formally dressed only in context; don't assume it means 'complete person.'
- Compared with intero, completo stresses nothing is missing; intero stresses undivided wholeness.
