Notas de uso
- For a school teacher’s desk, use cattedra, not scrivania. Scrivania is a general desk, often in an office or home.
- In universities, cattedra often means a professorship or academic chair, not a physical seat. Context usually makes this clear.
- Don’t confuse cattedra with sedia. Sedia is an ordinary chair; cattedra is specialized and more formal.
