Usage notes
- Use immortale for people, gods, souls, fame, or works of art. For physical things that simply last long, eterno or duraturo may fit better.
- It agrees in gender and number: immortale, immortali. Don’t confuse it with English-style noun use; in Italian it’s usually an adjective.
- Often used figuratively in elevated or literary style: un capolavoro immortale, fama immortale. In casual speech, eterno is more common.
