Usage notes
- Use 'assicurare' for guarantees or promises; 'garantire' is stronger, often legal or financial.
- Reflexive 'assicurarsi' means 'to make sure'—always takes 'di' before verbs: 'Mi assicuro di chiudere la porta.'
- Auxiliary is 'avere' in compound tenses, even for reflexive: 'Mi sono assicurato' is wrong; use 'Ho assicurato.'
