Usage notes
- Use 'nascere' for birth or natural growth; 'partorire' is only for giving birth (mother's action).
- Always takes 'essere' as auxiliary in compound tenses (e.g., 'sono nato').
- In passive constructions, 'nascere' implies origin, not action (e.g., 'Questo vino è nato in Toscana').
- past participle nato
