Notas de uso
- Use 'meritare' for deserving based on actions/qualities, not just effort. 'Guadagnare' is for earning money/rewards.
- Auxiliary is 'avere' in compound tenses (ho meritato). No agreement with direct object unless pronominal (mi merito).
- Common mistake: confusing 'meritare' with 'valere' (to be worth). 'Meritare' implies moral/justified worth, not just value.
