Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.Rendere is a versatile verb that can be used in many different contexts. One common use of the verb is to describe the act of making or causing something to happen. For example, you might say 'La pioggia rende le strade scivolose' which means 'The rain makes the roads slippery.' In this context, rendere is being used to describe the effect that the rain has on the roads.
Another common use of rendere is to describe the act of giving back or returning something. For example, you might say 'Devo rendere il libro alla biblioteca' which means 'I have to return the book to the library.'

It's important to note that rendere can also be used in idiomatic expressions that don't necessarily have a literal translation in English. For example, 'rendere pan per focaccia' literally means 'to give bread for focaccia' but it actually means 'to give someone a taste of their own medicine.' Understanding these idiomatic uses of rendere can help you better understand Italian language and culture.
