Usage notes
- Use fare la differenza for make a difference; not fare una differenza in most everyday contexts.
- Often followed by tra/fra to compare two things: la differenza tra A e B.
- Unlike English, Italian often uses c'è differenza / non c'è differenza rather than a direct equivalent of there is a difference.
