Notas de uso
- Common in everyday speech, especially for children or school discipline; pena is broader and more formal/legal.
- Often used with dare or prendere: dare un castigo, prendere un castigo. Avoid literal calques like fare un castigo.
- In school contexts, castigo can mean detention or being grounded, not just a general punishment.
