Usage notes
- For physical cutting on surfaces, incidere is more formal/technical than tagliare; for wood or stone carving, intagliare is often more natural.
- To mean “affect,” it often takes su: incidere su qualcosa. In formal contexts, also use incidere su + costs, results, decisions.
- For audio/video, incidere means “to record” in studio contexts. For everyday recording, registrare is broader and more common.
- past participle inciso
