Usage notes
- Usually used for political systems or values. For a vote or referendum result, prefer maggioranza, not democrazia.
- Often appears with the article: la democrazia. Use in democrazia for “in a democracy,” not nella democrazia in general statements.
- Common abstract collocations are difendere, tutelare, minacciare la democrazia. This sounds more natural than using generic verbs like fare or mettere.
