Usage Note

Tag is an English loanword used in Italian for a digital tag or label — on social media (taggare qualcuno, 'to tag someone'), in programming, or in metadata. It is masculine: il tag, i tag. The plural tag is invariable (no Italian ending added), as is typical of English loanwords in Italian. The related verb taggare is informal and widely understood in digital contexts.
