Notas de uso
- Pecora is the general word for the animal; ariete is a ram and agnello is a lamb.
- For meat, Italian usually says agnello, not pecora. Using pecora for food can sound odd or too literal.
- As an insult, fare la pecora means being submissive or spineless; it is informal and often negative.
