Usage notes
- Use 'rendere' for 'to make' in the sense of causing a state (e.g., 'rendere felice'). Avoid with physical actions (use 'fare' instead).
- In compound tenses, 'rendere' takes 'avere' (e.g., 'ho reso'). Never use 'essere' unless in passive voice.
- For 'to return an item,' prefer 'restituire' if the focus is on the object. 'Rendere' implies a broader effect or change.
- past participle reso
