Notas de uso
- Mostly literary, historical, or fixed expressions. For a modern soldier, say soldato or fante di fanteria only in formal military contexts.
- In card games, fante means the jack. Do not confuse it with cavallo and re, which are different face cards in Italian decks.
- The 'servant/maid' senses are archaic. Use domestico, domestica, servo, or serva only in historical or literary settings.
