Usage notes
- For a bus or tram stop, say fermata, not stop in Italian.
- For a road sign reading STOP, Italians often use stop in speech, but segnale di stop is more explicit.
- For an interruption or halt, prefer blocco, arresto, or fermata depending on context; stop alone is not the usual Italian noun.
