Usage notes
- Use 'salvare' for rescuing people or saving data/files. For 'saving money,' prefer 'risparmiare.'
- Takes 'avere' as auxiliary in compound tenses (e.g., 'ho salvato'). No agreement with direct object.
- Common in tech contexts: 'salvare un file' (save a file). Avoid 'conservare' for this meaning.
