Usage notes

  • Use unito after essere or in fixed phrases; for people emotionally close, vicino or affiatato is often more natural.
  • As an adjective, it agrees in gender and number: unito, unita, uniti, unite.
  • For colors and fabrics, tinta unita is the standard phrase; plain alone is not usually just unito.
