Cultural Tip

In Italian business communication ‘usare’ is perfectly acceptable, but ‘utilizzare’ sounds slightly more formal. Tech terms like ‘Google Meet’ are usually left in English, though you may hear the Italianized pronunciation. Positioning ‘anche’ before the infinitive (Possiamo anche usare…) emphasizes the addition, while placing it after the verb (Possiamo usare anche…) is also correct but a bit less emphatic.
