Notas de uso
- Use sportivo for people, attitudes, clothes, or cars. For the noun “sportsman/player,” say sportivo/sportiva only in some contexts; often atleta is clearer.
- It agrees in gender and number: sportivo, sportiva, sportivi, sportive. Learners often forget this with clothing and car descriptions.
- For “fair” or “good-natured in competition,” sportivo is common in speech. In formal contexts, leale or corretto may sound more precise.
