Usage notes
- Use 'confermare' for official or factual confirmation (e.g., appointments, reservations). For personal agreement, 'confermo' may sound stiff; prefer 'sono d'accordo'.
- Auxiliary is 'avere' (ho confermato). Past participle agrees only if the object is a pronoun (l'ho confermata).
- Avoid overusing it for 'to say yes'; 'confermare' implies prior uncertainty or a formal process.
