Usage notes
- Mostly formal or literary. For everyday 'praise,' Italians usually say lode, elogio, or complimento instead of lodo.
- In legal language, lodo commonly means an arbitration award; outside that context, many speakers may not recognize this sense immediately.
- Do not confuse lodo with lode: lode is the usual modern noun for praise and appears in fixed expressions like con lode.
