Usage notes
- Use 'prossimo' for 'next' in time (e.g., 'next week'), but 'successivo' for 'next' in sequence (e.g., 'the next step').
- Always agree in gender/number: 'prossimo' (m.s.), 'prossima' (f.s.), 'prossimi' (m.pl.), 'prossime' (f.pl.).
- In dates, 'il prossimo mese' = 'next month'; avoid 'il mese prossimo' (less natural).
