Notas de uso
- Use schiena for the body part; dorso is more anatomical, literary, or for an animal’s back/top side.
- With body parts, Italian often uses the definite article: mi fa male la schiena, not usually mia schiena.
- For posture or position, say di schiena for facing away or lying on one’s back, not sulla schiena in those cases.
