Notas de uso
- For situations worsening quickly, Italians often prefer precipitare over cadere: La situazione è precipitata sounds natural; La situazione è caduta does not.
- As an intransitive verb of falling/crashing, it usually takes essere in compound tenses: l'aereo è precipitato, not ha precipitato.
- Transitive use is more formal or literary: precipitare qualcuno nel panico, negli eventi. In everyday speech, far precipitare is often clearer.
