Usage notes
- Use 'partire' for leaving a place (e.g., 'parto da Roma'), not 'lasciare' (which means 'to leave behind').
- Auxiliary is 'essere' in compound tenses (e.g., 'sono partito'), not 'avere'.
- Common in informal speech for starting tasks (e.g., 'partiamo!'), but 'iniziare' is more formal.
