Usage notes

  • Use 'squadra' for sports teams, work groups, or military units. 'Gruppo' is more general; 'team' is often borrowed in casual speech.
  • Feminine noun: 'la squadra', 'le squadre'. Plural agreement is key—adjectives and verbs must match.
  • Avoid overusing 'squadra' for informal friend groups; 'gruppo di amici' or 'comitiva' sounds more natural.
