Far vedere le stelle

To make someone suffer

意思

To cause someone great pain or trouble.

🌍

文化背景

In Italian football (calcio), this phrase is used to describe a 'hard' game where players are physically battered or tactically overwhelmed. The phrase is a staple of 'Poliziottesco' and 'Spaghetti Western' movies, where tough characters frequently threaten each other with physical violence. In Naples, the expression might be accompanied by a specific hand gesture (the 'mano a borsa' or a flick of the fingers) to emphasize the threat. Dante Alighieri ends each of the three parts of the Divine Comedy with the word 'stelle.' While not the idiom itself, it shows the cultural importance of stars as a symbol of the ultimate goal or a turning point after suffering.

💡

Use it for Hyperbole

Italians love drama. Don't be afraid to use this for minor pains (like a spicy pepper) to sound more native.

⚠️

Not for Romance

Never use this to describe a romantic moment. You will sound like you are complaining about being physically hurt.
