Notas de uso
- In modern Italian, concorso usually means a competition or public-service exam, not an ordinary sports match; use gara or partita there.
- For job exams, say fare un concorso or partecipare a un concorso. Vincere un concorso means to win it, not simply to pass.
- The older senses like concurrence or assistance are formal and uncommon today; learners will mostly meet the competition/exam meaning.
