Notas de uso
- For a person meaning “spokesperson,” Italian usually uses portavoce too; it’s common and often invariable: il/la portavoce.
- Don’t confuse it with altoparlante, which means “loudspeaker/speaker,” not a person or a tube.
- Speaking tube/voicepipe is technical or old-fashioned; outside nautical or historical contexts, most speakers won’t use this sense.
