Usage notes
- Use 'sole' for the sun as a celestial body; 'il sole' is always masculine, never feminine like in Spanish.
- Prefer 'luce del sole' for 'sunlight' in most contexts; 'sole' alone can sound poetic or ambiguous.
- Avoid confusing 'sole' (sun) with 'solo' (only/alone); they sound identical but differ in spelling and meaning.
