Notas de uso
- In legal contexts, sentenza is the court’s final decision; verdetto is specifically a jury’s verdict, less general in Italian.
- For criminal punishment, use pena for the punishment itself; sentenza is the judicial act that imposes it.
- The meaning “saying/maxim” is literary or old-fashioned; in everyday speech, proverbio or frase fatta is usually more natural.
