Usage notes
- Use 'prevedere' for future events with some certainty; 'aspettarsi' is more subjective or emotional.
- Auxiliary is 'avere' in compound tenses (e.g., 'ho previsto'). No agreement with direct object.
- Common in formal contexts (e.g., laws, reports). 'Pianificare' is better for personal plans.
- past participle previsto
