Usage notes
- Use 'rapporto' for relationships between people or things; 'relazione' is more formal or abstract (e.g., reports).
- Avoid using 'rapporto' for 'report' in business contexts—'resoconto' or 'relazione' are clearer.
- In math/science, 'rapporto' means 'ratio'; don’t confuse with 'proporzione' (proportion).
