Usage notes
- Usually feminine singular: la luna. With a following vowel, use luna piena, but article contracts: l'ultima luna.
- For the celestial body, Italian normally uses luna, not satellite naturale, except in scientific or technical contexts.
- In everyday speech, al chiaro di luna means moonlight; chiaro di luna alone can sound literary or idiomatic.
