Today’s Parola del Giorno is the transitive verb, osare, which means to dare. Infinitives follow osare without a preposition (like the modals, piacere, preferire, etc.). Avere is used in compound tenses; the past participle is osato. See the verb used below in its context:

Che bravo che è Marco Travaglio!  Osa criticare il governo per mettere in luce i problemi del nostro governo.

How good is Marco Travaglio! He dares to criticize the government in order to highlight our government’s problems.
