Usage notes

  • Use 'oggetto' for physical items or abstract concepts (e.g., 'oggetto di studio'). Avoid for people or animals.
  • 'Oggetto' is neutral; 'cosa' is more informal and vague. Prefer 'oggetto' in formal writing.
  • Plural is 'oggetti.' No irregularities in gender (masculine) or agreement.
