to happen (5)
CAPITARE: This verb is used for facts and events that happen by chance, without our will, but that have consequences, often negative.
Keep in mind that the verb CAPITARE is the only one, among the ones we’ll see today, that can be conjugated in every person - the other four verbs can only be used in third person!
SUCCEDERE: We can say that this verb is a kind of synonym of “capitare”, in fact it can be used to talk about something that happens by chance. The only difference with respect to “capitare” is that SUCCEDERE is not often referred to negative things, but it is basically neutral.
Furthermore, we often use it when we see, for example, that someone has something wrong or when we notice something uncommon, and we say: Che cosa è successo? [formal – What happened?]
ACCADERE: Although it has the same meaning of the previous ones, this verb is definitely more formal. From this verb there is also the noun: accaduto, which means “what happened”
AVVENIRE (-o): This verb, mainly used in the journalistic field, indicates the time and space coordinates of the event. For example:
È con grande rammarico che vi segnaliamo che è avvenuto un omicidio a Roma tra le 19 e le 20 di ieri sera. (It is with regret that we report that between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. of yesterday evening a murder happened in Rome)
AVVERARE: This verb literally means “to come true”, “to become a reality”, therefore it is used when something that one desired or imagined finally comes true, becomes a reality.
