Notas de uso
- Use definire for giving a precise description or label; use descrivere for fuller detail and spiegare for explaining how or why.
- For making a decision, definire is formal or bureaucratic; in everyday speech, decidere or risolvere is usually more natural.
- It takes avere in compound tenses: ho definito, not sono definito, except reflexive uses like si è definito.
