Cultural Tip
In Italy ‘versare’ is the go‑to verb for putting cash into a bank, while ‘depositare’ is more common when speaking about electronic transfers. Remember that ‘soldi’ is always plural; you can also say ‘un po’ di soldi’ for a small amount. When you refer to a specific sum, replace the partitive article with a numeral (e.g., ‘versare 200 euro’).
