Usage Note
Raccomandare means to recommend or advise, and also — specifically in Italian culture — to use personal connections to get someone an advantage: essere raccomandato ('to get in through connections') carries a strong negative connotation of nepotism. The reflexive raccomandarsi means 'to beg' or 'to implore': mi raccomando! is a very common expression urging someone not to forget something important. It takes avere.
