Usage notes

  • Usually follows the noun in fixed terms: guerra mondiale, economia mondiale. Before the noun is possible but less common and more stylistic.
  • For 'global' in business or tech, globale is often preferred: mercato globale, rete globale. Mondiale sounds broader or more established.
  • Agreement is regular: mondiale / mondiali. The singular form is the same for masculine and feminine.
