In English, foci is the plural of focus. There is two focus in an ellipse. https://www.mathopenref.com/ellipsefoci.html The Italian translation of foci should be 'fuochi', 'foyers' in French (and 'focos' in Portuguese?) .

Description
@SrNetoChan @pigreco To do with our discussion on twitter, here some information about all tools in the shape toolbar.
There is a section about it, containing only an information for circular string / arc.
For every tool, you can enter coordinate with The Advanced Digitizing panel.
Circle:
Circles are converted to circular string, so it can be in curved geometry or not depending of the data provider.
Ellipse:
Ellipse cannot be converted as circular string, so it will always segmented.
Rectangle:
Regular polygon
Left click, and a dialog appear to enter the number of side. Right click to finish.
Note: You may find on other software, something like "Square from center", "circle from center and radius", etc. but the are useless as it can be drawn with other tools ("regular polygon from center", "circle from center and a point", ...) and the advanced digitizing panel
