Usage notes
- Usually intransitive: arrossire di vergogna, arrossire per l’imbarazzo. Don’t use a direct object.
- Use arrossire for a face turning red from emotion; diventare rosso is broader and can describe objects or stronger visible redness.
- In compound tenses it normally takes essere: è arrossito/a. Past participle agrees with the subject.
