Usage notes
- Use lombardo for a male noun; lombarda for feminine, lombardi/lombarde for plural. It agrees like a regular adjective.
- For language, Italian often prefers lombardo as a noun: il lombardo. Don't confuse it with milanese, which is specific to Milan.
- As a regional label, lombardo can mean from Lombardy generally, not necessarily ethnic or historical Lombard in the ancient sense.
