Usage notes
- Usually feminine: la nuvola, le nuvole. Don't confuse singular nuvola with plural nuvole.
- Use nuvola for an actual cloud; nube is more literary or technical, and also common for smoke, gas, or dust clouds.
- In tech, nuvola can mean cloud computing in informal usage, but cloud is also widely used in Italian.
