A1🔤 Letters T–Z
Italian word
usare
to use
Looks like
to use
to employ something for a purpose
⚠️ The trap
Looks safe, but 'usato' (past participle) also means 'used' as in 'second-hand'. 'Una macchina usata' = a used/second-hand car. English 'used to' (past habit) = 'di solito' or imperfect tense, not 'usato a'.
To say "to employ something for a purpose" in Italian:
usare (same meaning)
"usare" in English means:
to use
Example
"Puoi usare il mio telefono."
"You can use my phone."
