Usage notes
- Use baciare for both romantic and family kisses; dare un bacio often sounds softer or more casual for a single kiss.
- It takes avere in compound tenses: ho baciato, not sono baciato, except reflexive baciarsi: si sono baciati.
- Direct object pronouns attach normally: baciarlo, baciarla. Before vowels, infinitive can drop the e: baciarlo, but baciare Anna stays full.
