✕Common Mistakes

  • Aggiornare per prestazioni migliori.

    The infinitive *aggiornare* is not a command; use the imperative *Aggiorna*.

  • Aggiorna per prestazione migliore.

    The noun is plural in the original phrase; singular *prestazione* changes the meaning and breaks agreement.

  • Aggiorna per migliori prestazioni.

    Word order is acceptable, but the most natural UI phrasing keeps the adjective after the noun.

↔Alternatives

  • Aggiorna per migliorare le prestazioni.

    Update to improve the performance.

  • Aggiorna per ottenere prestazioni migliori.

    Update to obtain better performance.

  • Aggiorna per una migliore performance.

    Update for a better performance.

Cultural Tip

Italian UI messages often use the informal imperative (*Aggiorna*) even in apps that are otherwise formal, because brevity is prized. In a formal document you would switch to the polite form *Aggiorni* or use a full sentence like *Si consiglia di aggiornare per migliorare le prestazioni.*
