Usage notes
- Use 'pure' for 'also' when adding to a positive statement; 'anche' works for both positive and negative.
- 'Pure' as 'please' softens requests—more polite than 'per favore' in some contexts, but not interchangeable.
- Avoid overusing 'pure' for 'well/surely'; 'certo' or 'sicuramente' often sound more natural.
