Usage notes
- Use sedile for car, bus, bike, or toilet seats. For a chair seat, posto a sedere or sedia is usually more natural.
- Sedile is more technical or neutral than posto, which often means a reserved place rather than the physical seat itself.
- Common in compounds: sedile anteriore, sedile posteriore, sedile reclinabile. Italians often specify position with di guida or del passeggero.
