Notas de uso
- Use 'lettera' for both 'letter' (A, B, C) and 'written text' (e.g., a letter to a friend). 'Missiva' is formal/old-fashioned for the latter.
- Avoid confusing 'lettera' (symbol) with 'lettera' (written text). Context clarifies, but 'una lettera dell'alfabeto' specifies the symbol.
- No plural agreement needed for 'lettera' as a symbol (e.g., 'le lettere A e B'). For written texts, pluralize normally ('due lettere').
