Usage notes
- Use sperimentare for trying methods, technologies, or approaches; provare is broader and more common for trying objects, clothes, or attempting actions.
- For personal states, sperimentare sounds formal or technical; in everyday speech, vivere or provare often sound more natural.
- It usually takes avere in compound tenses: ho sperimentato un metodo, ho sperimentato difficoltà.
