Usage notes
- Use 'camminare' for general walking; 'passeggiare' implies leisurely strolling, 'andare a piedi' emphasizes walking as transport.
- Avoid overusing 'camminare' for 'to go'—it’s not a direct synonym. 'Vado al parco' (I’m going to the park) doesn’t imply walking.
- Takes 'essere' as auxiliary in compound tenses (e.g., 'sono camminato'). Past participle agrees with subject: 'Lei è camminata.'
