Notas de uso
- Use prolungare for making something last longer: time, stay, treatment. For physical stretching, allungare is often more natural.
- For postponing an event, rinviare or rimandare is usually more common than prolungare, which suggests extending the interval before it ends.
- It is a regular transitive verb, so it takes avere in compound tenses: ho prolungato la riunione.
