3 -urban o urbane?-
Nota d'usoL'aggettivo urban significa “urbano”: the urban population, la popolazione urbana, urban development, lo sviluppo urbano; the Urban District Council, il Consiglio del Distretto Urbano. Non bisogna confondere urban con urbane, che vuol dire anch'esso “urbano”, ma solo nel senso (figurato e molto formale in italiano) di “cortese, gentile”: When I met him, he came across as a well-mannered, confident, and urbane young man, quando lo incontrai, si rivelò un uomo educato, sicuro di sé e cortese. -
