Notas de uso
- Usually transitive: fingere qualcosa. For actions, Italian often prefers fare finta di + infinitive in everyday speech.
- With a clause, use fingere che + subjunctive: finge che non sia successo niente.
- More literary or formal than far finta; common in writing, less natural in casual conversation.
- past participle finto
