Notas de uso
- Use 'tacere' for intentional silence; 'silenzio' is the state of quiet. 'Taci!' is blunt—'stai zitto' is softer.
- Takes 'essere' in compound tenses (e.g., 'è taciuto'). Past participle agrees with subject in gender/number.
- Avoid overusing 'tacere' for 'to stop'—prefer 'smettere' for actions (e.g., 'smettere di parlare').
- present: taccio, taci, tace, tacciamo, tacete, tacciono
