Usage Note

Medio agrees in gender and number: medio, media, medi, medie. As a noun la media means 'the average' or school grade average. The phrase Medio Oriente is the Middle East. A false-friend warning: medio does NOT mean 'medium' as in steak doneness — for that Italians use media cottura or simply borrow 'medium'.
