Usage Note

Nominativo has two main uses: in everyday and financial Italian it means 'registered in a name' or 'made out to' — assegno nominativo (crossed cheque payable to a specific person), titolo nominativo (registered security). In grammar it refers to the nominative case. The two senses rarely overlap in practice, so context makes the meaning clear.

Examples

"Ha emesso un assegno nominativo a mio favore."

Natural Translation

He issued a crossed cheque in my favour.
