Usage notes
- Usually used reflexively: accorgersi di qualcosa. Learners often wrongly use it without si or forget the preposition di.
- It takes essere in compound tenses: mi sono accorto/a. The past participle agrees with the subject's gender and number.
- Accorgersi means noticing or realizing after the fact; not the same as capire, which is broader and often more intellectual.
- used as accorgersi (mi accorgo)
- past participle accorto
- passato remoto accorsi, accorse, accorsero
