Notas de uso
- Use 'conte' for noble rank; 'earl' is rare in Italian. 'Conte' is more common than 'contessa' (countess).
- No plural change for titles: 'i conte' (the counts), not 'i conti' unless referring to multiple individuals named Conte.
- Formal register; avoid in casual speech unless discussing nobility or historical contexts.
