Notas de uso
- Usually means emotional amazement. For medical or drug-related stupor, Italian more often uses "stato di stupore" or "stupor" in technical contexts.
- Common after prepositions: "con stupore", "con mio stupore", "destare stupore". Learners often overuse a direct adjective instead of these natural noun phrases.
- "Sorpresa" is more everyday and can be positive or negative; "stupore" sounds stronger, more elevated, and often positive or admiring.
