معنی
Washing oneself under running water.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'bidet' is a staple in Italian bathrooms. 'Fare la doccia' is for the whole body, but the bidet is used for specific hygiene throughout the day. There is a strong belief in 'la cervicale' (neck pain caused by cold/drafts). Many Italians insist on drying their hair immediately after 'fare la doccia'. Water and energy costs are high in Italy, so while 'fare la doccia' is a ritual, it is often more efficient than in countries with cheaper utilities. In older Italian apartments, you might find a 'doccia a telefono' (a handheld shower head) which is very common.
Use 'Fare'
Always remember that in Italian, you 'make' a shower, you don't 'take' it.
The Article Matters
Don't forget the 'la'. It's 'fare LA doccia', not just 'fare doccia'.
