Notas de uso
- Use 'tenere' for physical holding (e.g., a bag), 'mantenere' for abstract keeping (e.g., a promise).
- 'Tenere' takes 'avere' as auxiliary, not 'essere'—even with reflexive verbs (e.g., 'mi sono tenuto' is wrong).
- In commands, drop the final '-e' (e.g., 'Tieni!' not 'Tieni tu!'). Common in informal speech.
- present: tengo, tieni, tiene, teniamo, tenete, tengono
