Notas de uso
- Use 'contenere' for physical containment (e.g., a box contains items). For abstract ideas, prefer 'comprendere' or 'includere'.
- Common mistake: Forgetting it’s transitive—always needs a direct object. Wrong: 'La scatola contiene.' Right: 'La scatola contiene libri.'
- Auxiliary verb is 'avere' in compound tenses (e.g., 'ha contenuto'). No agreement with the subject.
- present: contengo, contieni, contiene, conteniamo, contenete, contengono
