Notas de uso
- Use inseguire for literal chasing and for goals. For abstract ideas in formal contexts, perseguire is often preferred.
- Do not confuse inseguire with rincorrere: rincorrere often stresses running after someone; inseguire is broader and more neutral.
- It usually takes avere in compound tenses: ho inseguito. Direct object pronouns come before the auxiliary: l'ho inseguito.
