Usage notes

  • For an achievement, use il record; for a best-ever result, often record personale means personal best.
  • For stored information in computing, record is masculine: un record, i record. In databases, scheda or voce may sound more natural in some contexts.
  • Do not confuse record with registrazione: registrazione is an audio/video recording, not a sports record.
