Rule reminder
Formal Italian uses specific verbs for official communication: 'affermare' (to state), 'dichiarare' (to declare), 'comunicare' (to inform), 'rendere noto' (to make known), 'far presente' (to point out), 'interpellare' (to consult/approach). These verbs replace informal equivalents like 'dire', 'raccontare', 'far sapere'.
