Notas de uso
- Often replaced by more specific verbs: tirare fuori for physical removal, togliere for clothes, ottenere/ricavare for getting or deriving.
- Very common in pronominal forms: cavarsela = manage, cavarne = get something out of it. These are often more frequent than plain cavare.
- Use avere in compound tenses: ho cavato, not sono cavato. Past participle agrees only with a preceding direct object pronoun.
