Notas de uso
- Mostly formal or literary. In everyday speech, use mettere giù, posare, lasciare, or depositare depending on context.
- Common in institutional language: deporre le armi, deporre una corona, deporre testimonianza. It sounds elevated for ordinary physical actions.
- As a transitive verb, it usually takes avere in compound tenses: ha deposto. Don't confuse it with deporsi, a different reflexive use.
