Usage notes
- Use fare miracoli for impressive results in difficult conditions; it often sounds figurative, not religious.
- For a religious miracle, miracolo is standard; prodigio sounds more literary or emphatic.
- In colloquial Italian, per miracolo means 'barely' or 'by sheer luck,' not only in a supernatural sense.
