Usage notes
- Fan is invariable in Italian: un fan, due fan. Don't add English-style plurals like fans in careful Italian.
- Common in media and everyday speech; ammiratore is more formal or literary, especially for a person rather than a brand or team.
- Use di to say what someone likes: fan di Vasco, fan della Roma. Avoid direct English-style noun stacking.
- plural fans
