Usage notes
- For a household servant, servitore sounds old-fashioned or literary; domestico or collaboratore domestico is more natural in modern Italian.
- For tennis, use servitore only in formal sports language; everyday Italian usually says battitore for the player serving.
- Do not confuse servitore with server in computing or restaurants; Italian normally uses server unchanged in those contexts.
