Note d'uso	Usa 'piegare' quando ti riferisci ad azioni fisiche, come piegare un'asta di metallo o piegare le ginocchia. Evita di usarlo in contesti troppo formali.

Può essere usato metaforicamente (ad esempio, un colpo di scena nelle storie). Evitare nella scrittura formale se possibile; usare invece una parola più specifica.
