Usage notes
- Use 'ordinare' for ordering food/drinks (e.g., 'ordinare un caffè'), not 'comandare' (which means 'to command').
- In formal contexts, 'ordinare' can mean 'to prescribe' (medicine), but 'prescrivere' is more common in medical settings.
- Auxiliary is 'avere' (ho ordinato), not 'essere'. No agreement with direct objects unless using 'essere' in passive voice.
