norm, standard

Usage Note

Regola follows regular feminine patterns (le regole). The phrase di regola means 'as a rule' or 'normally', while a regola d'arte (lit. according to the rule of art) means 'done to perfection'. Regola should not be confused with norma, which leans more toward a formal or legal standard.

Examples

"Bisogna rispettare le regole."
