Usage notes
- Prefer 'usare' for everyday objects; 'utilizzare' sounds more formal or technical (e.g., tools, resources).
- Often used in written Italian (reports, instructions) rather than casual speech.
- Takes 'avere' as auxiliary in compound tenses (e.g., 'ho utilizzato'). No agreement with subject.
