Usage notes
- Use 'termine' for deadlines or final points in time; 'fine' is more general (e.g., 'la fine del film').
- In contracts, 'termini' means 'terms and conditions'—don’t confuse with 'parole' (individual words).
- Plural 'termini' can mean 'terms' (language) or 'deadlines'—context clarifies.
