Rule reminder
Italian writers choose between three main strategies to avoid repetition while maintaining clarity: (1) pronouns (lui, essa, essi, lo, ecc.) — efficient but can be ambiguous; (2) synonymy (a different word with similar meaning); (3) strategic repetition — used for emphasis, clarity, or when ambiguity is a risk. Context determines which strategy is best.
In a legal document: 'Il contraente deve firmare il contratto. _____ deve essere firmato entro 30 giorni.' Which strategy is most appropriate?
