Usage notes
- Use volume for physical books and for sound level. For amount or quantity in general, Italian often prefers quantità, mole, or numero.
- For books, volume often means one book in a series: il primo volume. A single ordinary book is usually just libro.
- With audio, alzare/abbassare il volume is standard. Don't translate English 'turn up/down the volume' word-for-word with girare.
