Usage notes
- Use 'muro' for vertical structures like house walls or city walls. For internal divisions, 'parete' is more common.
- Avoid 'muro' for abstract barriers (e.g., language barrier). Use 'barriera' instead.
- 'Muro' is masculine: 'il muro', 'i muri'. Don’t confuse with feminine 'mura' (city walls).
- also le mura (feminine plural, different meaning)
