Notas de uso
- For directions, dritto often means “straight ahead”: Vai dritto. More natural than diretto, which usually means “direct” or “nonstop.”
- As an adjective, it agrees in gender and number: dritto, dritta, dritti, dritte.
- For “right-hand,” Italian more often uses destro/destra in formal contexts; dritto can sound colloquial or context-dependent.
