Usage notes

  • Use offerta for a commercial deal or discount; proposta is broader for plans, suggestions, or formal proposals.
  • In shops, in offerta means on sale. Don't confuse it with sconto, which is the discount amount itself.
  • For job contexts, offerta di lavoro is common; proposta di lavoro also exists, often sounding more specific or formal.
