Usage notes
- Use 'natura' for the physical world (e.g., plants, landscapes). For 'nature' as personality, prefer 'carattere' or 'indole'.
- Avoid overusing 'natura' for 'type/kind'—'tipo' or 'genere' are more natural in many cases.
- No plural form in common usage; 'nature' (plural) is rare and poetic.
