Como usar
Argomentare means to give reasons or evidence to support an idea. It's often used in formal contexts like debates, essays, or discussions where you need to present a well-reasoned argument. Think of it as 'to argue' in the sense of presenting an argument, not necessarily a heated disagreement. Example: -
Deve argomentare la sua posizione con dati concreti.
(He must argue his position with concrete data.) -È importante saper argomentare in modo chiaro e logico.
(It's important to know how to argue clearly and logically.)A common mistake is confusing argomentare with 'to argue' in the sense of 'to quarrel' or 'to fight'. For those situations, you would typically use verbs like discutere (to discuss, to argue in a less formal way, or even to quarrel) or litigare (to quarrel, to fight). Incorrect:
Hanno argomentato per l'intera serata.
(They argued for the entire evening - implying a fight). Correct:Hanno litigato per l'intera serata.
(They quarrelled for the entire evening.) Correct (if they were presenting points in a discussion):Hanno argomentato le loro posizioni per l'intera serata.
(They argued their positions for the entire evening.)Teste-se 24 perguntas
