Usage notes

  • Use occidentale in geography, politics, or culture; for simple direction in everyday speech, ovest is often more natural.
  • It agrees like a regular adjective: occidentale/occidentali. No separate masculine and feminine singular forms.
  • Capitalized Occidentale is uncommon in Italian; lowercase is standard unless it begins a sentence or is part of a proper name.
