Usage notes
- For numbers or rough amounts, stimare is more formal than calcolare; use calcolare for exact mathematical calculation.
- For people or qualities, stimare means respect/esteem. Liking someone personally is more often piacere or voler bene, not stimare.
- In opinions, stimare che is formal and bookish; in speech, pensare che or ritenere are often more natural.
