Usage notes
- Use 'scrivere' for general writing; 'compilare' for filling out forms, 'redigere' for drafting official texts.
- Auxiliary is 'avere' (ho scritto), not 'essere'. Past participle 'scritto' agrees only if direct object precedes verb.
- Informal: 'scrivimi' (write me); formal: 'mi scriva'. Avoid 'scrivere a me'—redundant.
- past participle scritto
