Usage notes
- Use 'stabilire' for formal or official decisions, not casual plans. 'Decidere' is more general.
- Often pairs with 'regole' (rules), 'condizioni' (terms), or 'prezzi' (prices). Avoid with emotions.
- Takes 'avere' as auxiliary in compound tenses (e.g., 'ho stabilito'). No agreement with direct object.
