Usage notes
- For goals, coronare is more literary than raggiungere or realizzare; common in coronare un sogno, less common for everyday tasks.
- Use avere in compound tenses: ho coronato il mio sogno, not essere.
- For the literal sense, it often takes di: coronare di fiori, coronare di successo. This pattern is common in formal writing.
