Notas de uso
- Often more formal than fare or lavorare. In everyday speech, Italians usually prefer fare un'operazione, lavorare, or agire depending on context.
- For surgery, operare qualcuno means "to operate on someone"; the patient is a direct object, unlike English "operate on."
- With intransitive meanings like "to operate/work," it usually takes avere in compound tenses: ha operato nel settore per anni.
