Usage notes
- Often used after the noun: città omonima, film omonimo. This position is very common in formal and written Italian.
- Use it for things sharing a name; for people, Italian often says mio omonimo as a noun meaning someone with my same name.
- Do not confuse it with sinonimo or anonimo. Omonimo is about identical names, not similar meaning or anonymity.
