Usage Note

Precisazione refers to a clarifying remark or correction that makes something more precise — fare una precisazione ('to make a clarification'). It is more specific than chiarimento ('clarification' in a broader sense) in that it implies correcting or tightening a previous statement rather than explaining something unknown. Common in press releases, official statements, and academic writing.

Examples

"Vorrei fare una precisazione importante."

Natural Translation

I would like to make an important clarification.
