Usage notes
- Use proposta for an offer, suggestion, or formal plan. For a marriage proposal, proposta di matrimonio is the usual full phrase.
- Prefer proposta over suggerimento when the idea is more concrete, official, or meant for discussion and approval.
- Common verbs are fare, avanzare, accettare, respingere una proposta. Dire una proposta sounds unnatural.
