Notas de uso
- In modern Italian, convento usually refers to a religious house; for monks, monastero is often more precise, though convento can still appear.
- Use in + article for location: in convento, nel convento. Don’t translate English 'at the convent' with a unless movement is involved.
- The 'assembly/crowd' sense is literary or archaic. In everyday Italian, use riunione, assemblea, or folla instead.
