Notas de uso
- For “able to die,” mortale is common in literary, religious, or philosophical contexts; in everyday speech, umano or persona often sounds more natural.
- For “deadly/fatal,” mortale is stronger and more fixed than pericoloso; use letale more in technical or medical contexts.
- A common fixed use is peccato mortale. Don’t confuse it with mortifero, which usually means “death-causing” in a more formal register.
