Usage notes

  • Use venditore for a person selling goods; for a company or side in a deal, venditore can also mean “seller” in legal/business contexts.
  • For street or market sellers, ambulante or commerciante may sound more natural depending on context; venditore is broader and neutral.
  • The feminine is venditrice, not venditore for a woman in careful standard Italian.
