Usage notes
- Use percorrere for routes, roads, stages, or distances; for generic movement, andare or fare is often more natural.
- It usually takes avere in compound tenses: ho percorso 10 km, not sono percorso.
- It is more formal and written than everyday fare or attraversare in casual speech.
- past participle percorso
