Usage notes

  • Use 'nota' for musical notes, written notes, or grades (e.g., school). Avoid for 'banknote' (use 'banconota').
  • 'Nota' can mean 'bill' (e.g., restaurant), but 'conto' is more common. 'Fattura' is for invoices.
  • Plural 'note' is irregular: 'note' (not 'noti'). Feminine noun, so adjectives agree (e.g., 'una nota importante').
