Usage notes
- Use indicazione for guidance, signage, or a piece of information; istruzione is more often a step or rule in a procedure.
- Dare indicazioni commonly means giving directions or guidance. For road directions, direzioni exists, but indicazioni is often more natural in Italian.
- Often used in the plural, indicazioni, for instructions, directions, or guidance. Singular sounds more like one specific clue or recommendation.
