Notas de uso
- Use 'temere' for general fear or worry; 'avere paura' is stronger, more emotional.
- Always takes 'essere' in compound tenses (e.g., 'ho temuto' is wrong; 'sono temuto' is rare).
- Common with 'di' + infinitive (e.g., 'temo di cadere') or 'che' + subjunctive (e.g., 'temo che piova').
