causes, provokes, teases
La morte mi provoca molta ansia.
Death causes me a lot of anxiety.
Provoca un monologo invece che un dialogo.
It provokes a monologue rather than a dialogue.
— Fa' la cosa giusta (1989)
Mi provoca bruciore.
It makes me burn.
— Love Letters (2025)
E mi provoca con quel topo.
And he's teasing me with that mouse.
— Ratatouille (2007)
