Usage notes
- Use 'guardare' for general looking/watching; 'vedere' is for perceiving or noticing. 'Guardare' implies intent.
- Avoid 'guardare a' unless meaning 'to aim at' or 'to consider'. Just 'guardare' + direct object is standard.
- In compound tenses, use 'avere' as auxiliary: 'ho guardato', not 'sono guardato'.
