Usage notes
- Use 'processo' for legal trials, not 'prova' (which means 'test' or 'evidence').
- In non-legal contexts, 'processo' often implies a structured method; 'metodo' is more general.
- Plural is 'processi,' but it’s rarely used in legal contexts (e.g., 'due processi' sounds odd; use 'due cause' instead).
