Usage notes
- Use 'attaccare' for physical sticking (e.g., glue) or metaphorical attachment (e.g., blame). 'Agganciare' is for hooks/links.
- In combat, 'attaccare' means 'to attack'; 'assalire' implies sudden, violent assault.
- Takes 'avere' as auxiliary in compound tenses (e.g., 'ho attaccato'). No agreement with direct object.
