Usage notes
- Use incertezza for a state or situation; dubbio is more often a specific doubt or question.
- For personal wavering, esitazione often sounds more immediate than incertezza, especially about a single action.
- Common pattern: incertezza su + noun or incertezza nel + infinitive, not usually di alone.
