Notas de uso
- Use imitare for copying behavior, style, or sounds. For reproducing a text or image, copiare is usually more natural.
- For fake goods or forged works, imitare is possible, but falsificare or contraffare sounds more precise and common.
- It takes avere in compound tenses: ho imitato, not sono imitato.
