In this episode, we cover ten expressions that use the verb “dare”, in English “to give”. Many of these are fixed expressions and can’t be literally translated into English.
The verb “dare” is commonly used in the expressions: “dare fastidio” and “dare sui nervi”. The first one means “to bother”, while the second one means “to irritate”.
It’s also used in the expression “dare i numeri”, which means “to go crazy”.
