Notas de uso
- For physical contact, tocco is a noun; the verb is toccare. Don’t use tocco where English uses “to touch” as a verb.
- For a clock striking, tocco often appears in fixed expressions like al tocco. In everyday speech, ora or rintocco is often more specific.
- Un tocco can mean a small stylistic addition: un tocco di classe. This use is common and more idiomatic than a literal translation.
