Usage notes
- Use 'mese' for calendar months; 'luna' refers to the moon or a lunar cycle, not a month.
- In dates, 'mese' is often omitted: 'il 5 maggio' (May 5th), not 'il 5 del mese di maggio'.
- Plural 'mesi' is irregular; no -i ending like most masculine nouns (e.g., 'tre mesi', not 'tre mesi').
