Usage notes
- For getting off a train, bus, or car, use scendere, not sbarcare. Sbarcare is mainly for ships, planes, and figurative uses.
- As an intransitive movement verb, it usually takes essere: siamo sbarcati a Napoli. As transitive, it takes avere: hanno sbarcato le merci.
- For military contexts, sbarcare often means troops landing ashore. For a plane simply landing, prefer atterrare unless passengers are getting off.
