意味
Changing clearly.
文化的背景
The phrase is often used with hand gestures. An Italian might hold their hand flat and move it upwards in steps to mimic growth while saying the phrase. In rural Tuscany, this phrase is frequently used by farmers to describe the 'miraculous' growth of crops after the first spring rains. Used sarcastically to describe the speed at which parking spots disappear in crowded cities like Rome. News anchors use this phrase to add drama to reports about the rising cost of living (caro-vita).
The 'Growth' Rule
If you are talking about a child or a pet, this is almost always the best phrase to use to sound natural.
Avoid 'In'
Never say 'in vista d'occhio'. It's a common mistake for English speakers thinking of 'in sight'.
