Usage notes
- Use 'interesse' for personal or financial gain; 'attenzione' is for focus or care.
- Common mistake: confusing 'interesse' (noun) with 'interessare' (verb). They’re not interchangeable.
- No plural agreement needed for abstract senses (e.g., 'molto interesse'), but countable in 'interessi finanziari'.
