Usage notes
- Use essere in compound tenses: è sparito, sono spariti. Past participle agrees with the subject.
- Sparire is intransitive, so do not use a direct object. For making something disappear, use far sparire.
- Often stronger or more sudden than andare via; it suggests becoming untraceable, not just leaving.
