Usage notes
- Use disposizione for layout or arrangement; use ordine for a command or sequence, and sistemazione for practical setup or accommodation.
- Avere a disposizione means "to have available." Don't translate English "at your disposal" literally in every context; available often sounds more natural.
- Essere ben disposto/a verso qualcuno means "to be favorably inclined toward someone," not physically "well placed."
