Notas de uso
- For mountain geography, giogo is literary or technical; everyday Italian more often uses passo, valico, crinale, or cima depending on the terrain.
- In modern speech, giogo is most common in figurative phrases about oppression or constraint, not farm equipment.
- Do not confuse it with gioco (“game”); the spelling and pronunciation differ.
