Usage notes
- Often more formal than notare or accorgersi. Common in reports, journalism, science, and official language.
- For 'detect/record data,' rilevare is preferred: rilevare una temperatura, un errore, dati. Not usually for casual everyday noticing.
- For 'take over/buy out,' it takes a direct object: rilevare un'azienda, una quota. This business sense is quite formal.
