Notas de uso
- Use zio for a real family member; for an older non-relative, Italians often say signore, not zio.
- As slang, zio means something like dude or bro, mainly in informal speech and among younger speakers.
- Before a possessive, singular family nouns usually drop the article: mio zio, not il mio zio.
