Usage notes
- Use fare una copia for making a duplicate; copia alone often means the duplicate itself, not the action.
- For a school cheating sense, copia means cheating notes or cheating itself in context; not a general synonym of imitation.
- In offices and shops, una copia can mean a photocopy or printout; context decides, not a separate word.
