Notas de uso
- Use 'infatti' to confirm or reinforce a previous statement, not just to agree. 'Sì, infatti' sounds more natural than 'sì, davvero'.
- Avoid overusing 'infatti' in formal writing; 'in effetti' or 'in realtà' may fit better.
- Common in spoken Italian, often at the start of a sentence. Not typically used in questions.
