Usage notes
- Use pavimento for the floor surface you walk on indoors; suolo is broader and more formal, and terra often means ground/earth.
- For roads or outdoor surfacing, Italian often prefers manto stradale or pavimentazione, not pavimento alone.
- Common collocations use in: sul pavimento, per terra. Learners often overuse su pavimento without the article.
