Usage notes
- Use 'linea' for physical lines (e.g., on paper) or abstract ones (e.g., a phone line). For 'queue,' prefer 'fila' or 'coda.'
- In Morse code, 'linea' means 'dash,' but in writing, 'trattino' is the standard term for a hyphen or dash.
- No plural form changes for compound words (e.g., 'linea telefonica' → 'linee telefoniche').
