Notas de uso
- For clock time, Italians often say "a mezzogiorno"; with exact times, use "alle dodici" instead.
- As "the South," it is capitalized only in proper names or historical-political contexts; otherwise "sud" is more common in everyday speech.
- Don't confuse "mezzogiorno" with "mezzanotte". Both are singular masculine nouns: "il mezzogiorno", "la mezzanotte".
