Notas de uso
- Use 'se' for hypotheticals; 'che' is for direct questions (e.g., 'Non so se viene' vs. 'Viene?').
- Avoid 'se' + future tense; use present subjunctive (e.g., 'Se tu venga' is wrong; 'Se tu venga' is correct).
- In informal speech, 'se' often contracts to 's’' before vowels (e.g., 's’io fossi').

Notas de uso
- Use 'se' for 'if' in hypotheticals (e.g., 'Se piove, resto a casa'). Avoid 'quando' for conditions.
- 'Se' can mean 'whether' in indirect questions (e.g., 'Non so se viene'). Don’t confuse with 'o' (or).
- In informal speech, 'se' often contracts with pronouns: 'se lo' → 'selo', 'se ne' → 'senne'.
