Usage notes
- Use 'governo' for national/regional leadership; 'amministrazione' for local or corporate management.
- Avoid 'governo' for 'government' in abstract senses (e.g., 'limited government' → 'governo limitato' sounds unnatural).
- Masculine noun: 'il governo', 'i governi'. No plural agreement needed for verbs (e.g., 'il governo ha deciso').
