Usage notes
- Use copiare for reproducing text, files, or homework. For imitating a person’s style or behavior, imitare is often more natural.
- At school, copiare can mean cheating by copying someone else’s answers, not just making a copy.
- It usually takes avere in compound tenses: ho copiato. Direct object pronouns come before the verb: l’ho copiato.
