Usage notes
- Use allenare for sports, fitness, or skills. For studying or practice, prefer esercitarsi, studiare, or fare pratica.
- Allenarsi is the reflexive form for training oneself: Mi alleno ogni mattina. Allenare usually takes a person, team, or body part as object.
- For coaching a team, both allenare and fare l'allenatore are common; allenare sounds more direct and action-focused.
