Usage notes
- Use 'sguardo' for a brief or meaningful look; 'occhiata' is quicker, 'vista' is broader (e.g., sight).
- Often implies emotion or intent—avoid for neutral observations (use 'guardare' instead).
- No plural agreement issues, but adjectives describing it must agree (e.g., 'uno sguardo triste').
