Usage notes
- Use 'gridare' for loud, sudden vocalizations; 'urlare' is more intense, like a scream. 'Chiamare' means 'to call' (not necessarily loud).
- Avoid overusing 'gridare' for anger—Italians often use 'alzare la voce' (raise one's voice) for mild irritation.
- Takes 'avere' as auxiliary: 'Ho gridato'. No agreement with past participle unless direct object precedes.
