Usage notes
- Usually masculine singular: il latte. Use del latte for some milk, not *un latte* when you just mean milk in general.
- In a bar, un latte may sound incomplete or unusual; Italians often order caffellatte, latte macchiato, or simply latte in context.
- Latte is normally uncountable. For types, use plural latti in technical or commercial contexts, not everyday speech.
