Usage notes
- For assembling or installing, montare is common: montare un mobile, una tenda. For riding an animal or vehicle, salire is often more natural.
- As an intransitive verb meaning 'to rise/build up' (tension, anger, prices), it usually takes essere: la rabbia è montata.
- For whipping cream or egg whites, montare is standard. Don't confuse it with battere, which is broader and often less specific.
