Usage notes
- Use 'esclamare' for sudden, emotional outbursts. For neutral statements, prefer 'dire' or 'affermare'.
- Often followed by 'che' + clause (e.g., 'Ha esclamato che era stanco'). Avoid omitting 'che'.
- Takes 'avere' as auxiliary in compound tenses (e.g., 'ha esclamato'). Never use 'essere'.
