Usage notes
- Use 'garantire' for formal assurances (contracts, products). 'Assicurare' is softer, often for promises or safety.
- Takes 'avere' as auxiliary in compound tenses (ho garantito). Never use 'essere'.
- Common mistake: confusing with 'garantirsi' (reflexive), meaning 'to secure for oneself'.
