Usage notes
- In Italian politics, giunta usually means the executive board of a region, province, or city; consiglio is the elected deliberative council.
- For 'addition' in recipes or formal writing, use in aggiunta or con l'aggiunta di; bare giunta is uncommon in everyday speech.
- Junta exists in Italian too, but giunta is the normal adapted form; avoid using it for any generic group or meeting.
