Notas de uso
- For a police arrest, arresto is standard. Fermo often means temporary detention or a stop, not necessarily a formal arrest.
- In legal and news contexts, arresto sounds formal and specific. In everyday speech, people may say l'hanno preso or l'hanno fermato.
- Arresto also appears in technical contexts like machine failure or cardiac arrest; don't assume it always refers to police.
