Usage notes

  • Use metodo for a systematic way of doing something; modo usually means manner or way, not a structured procedure.
  • Common in study and work contexts: metodo di studio, metodo scientifico. For a recipe or instructions, procedimento may sound more natural.
  • Usually takes di before the field or purpose: metodo di insegnamento, metodo per risparmiare. Learners often overuse per.
