Notas de uso
- In Italian, miliardo = American billion (1,000,000,000), not million million. This is a major false friend for English speakers.
- Use un miliardo in the singular after 1; use due/tre miliardi in the plural. The noun agrees normally.
- Before a noun, use di: un miliardo di euro, miliardi di persone. Don’t place the noun directly after miliardo.
