Usage notes
- Use remo for the tool itself; remare is the verb “to row.” Learners often confuse the noun and verb forms.
- A single boat may use un remo or due remi, depending on type; don’t assume the plural is always needed.
- In figurative language, ai remi means “at the controls” or “in charge,” especially in journalism or politics.
