Notas de uso
- In modern Italian, vigile alone often means a municipal officer; for national police, say poliziotto or agente.
- Very common in the plural: i vigili or i vigili urbani. Singular il vigile is fine but sounds more specific.
- Don't confuse vigile with the adjective vigile, meaning alert or watchful; context and article usually make it clear.
