Usage notes
- Use 'condannare' for legal sentences or moral judgments; 'biasimare' is softer, for general disapproval.
- Always takes 'avere' as auxiliary, even with reflexive verbs (e.g., 'si è condannato').
- Often followed by 'a' + noun/verb (e.g., 'condannato a morte' or 'condannato a pagare').
