Notas de uso
- For money, use fare il cambio or cambiare i soldi; cambio alone often means exchange rate or small change from a purchase.
- For a change in plans or situation, cambiamento is often more explicit; cambio is common in fixed phrases like cambio di programma.
- In driving, cambio means gearbox/transmission; manuale and automatico specify type. Stickshift is colloquial English, not a separate Italian noun.
