Notas de uso
- With religion, secolare often means non-religious or not controlled by the Church; laico is more common for modern political or social contexts.
- For age, secolare means centuries old, not just old. Don't use it for anything merely decades old.
- It agrees normally: albero secolare, tradizioni secolari. The same form can refer to time or religion, so context matters.
