Usage notes
- Use with definite articles for seasons: in inverno = in winter; d'inverno = in wintertime, often more literary or descriptive.
- Italian usually says fa freddo in inverno, not a direct equivalent of English 'it is winter' in everyday weather talk.
- Capitalize inverno only at the start of a sentence; seasons are normally lowercase in Italian.
