よく混同される語

aumentare vs aumentarsi

Reflexive form, implies increasing oneself, rather than an external increase.

文法パターン

Aumentare + sostantivo (e.g., aumentare il volume, aumentare la produzione) Aumentare + in + sostantivo (e.g., aumentare in grandezza, aumentare in quantità) Aumentare + di + quantità/percentuale (e.g., aumentare di dieci euro, aumentare del 5%)

使い方

Aumentare can be used both transitively (requiring a direct object) and intransitively (not requiring a direct object). When used intransitively, it typically takes the auxiliary verb 'essere' (to be) in compound tenses, especially when referring to an increase in quantity or size that is a change of state (e.g., 'Il prezzo è aumentato'). When used transitively, it takes 'avere' (to have) as its auxiliary verb (e.g., 'Ho aumentato la velocità'). It is a very common verb in Italian, used in a wide range of contexts from finance and economics to personal growth and physical changes. It can also be used reflexively, 'aumentarsi', meaning to increase oneself or one's own capabilities, though this usage is less common than the transitive and intransitive forms. Pay attention to the context to determine the appropriate auxiliary verb in compound tenses.

よくある間違い

Sometimes confused with 'salire' (to go up, to climb), but 'aumentare' specifically refers to an increase in quantity or size, while 'salire' can also refer to physical movement upwards.
