Notas de uso
- Use confessare for admitting guilt or revealing something personal; ammettere is broader and more neutral for admitting facts or mistakes.
- Often followed by di + infinitive: ha confessato di aver mentito. With a person, use confessare qualcosa a qualcuno.
- In compound tenses it normally takes avere: ho confessato, not sono confessato, unless used reflexively in religious contexts.
