I hear you! And why has nobody answered my question... anyone? Is 'lanciare' only for sports? And 'tirare' for the general use of 'throw'? Thank you.
Hi there, lanciare isn't only for sports-related activities. You can also use the verb for other types of activities:
- Lancia una pietra. (He/She throws a stone.)
- Lancia un cappello in aria. (She/He throws a hat in the air.)
Hope this helps!
Just a guess but "lanciare" sounds like "launch". So it might be used when we want to make something "airborne", as opposed to, say, throwing a blanket on the ground.
Any thoughts on this?
Yep, tirare can mean 'to pull' (as well as to toss, throw, or launch depending on the context). It's quite a versatile verb. :)

so in a previous question "I see the fisherman pull up the fish", could I have said "I see the fisherman throw up the fish"????
