Usage notes
- More formal than rafforzare. Common in business, politics, and academic writing for relationships, positions, or results.
- Use consolidare for making something more stable or established, not for physically joining things together; use unire or compattare there.
- Usually takes avere in compound tenses: ha consolidato la sua posizione. Reflexive consolidarsi is common for situations that become stable.
