Usage notes
- Use 'stasera' for plans or events happening tonight. 'Questa sera' is slightly more formal but interchangeable.
- Avoid 'stanotte' for evening plans—it means 'tonight' but refers to late night/early morning hours.
- No contraction or agreement needed; it’s invariable. Just place it at the start or end of a sentence.
