Usage notes
- Use 'movimento' for physical motion (e.g., body parts) or abstract shifts (e.g., political). Avoid for 'exercise' in fitness contexts—use 'esercizio' instead.
- In music, 'movimento' means 'tempo mark' or 'section of a piece.' Don't confuse with 'ritmo' (rhythm).
- No plural irregularities, but remember gender: 'il movimento' (masculine).
