意思
Sharing expenses equally.
文化背景
In Italy, the 'struggle for the bill' is common. Offering to 'fare a metà' is a polite way to resolve the conflict without offending the other person's sense of hospitality. In Florence and surrounding areas, you will frequently hear 'fare a mezzo' instead of 'fare a metà'. It's a charming local variation. Younger Italians are much more likely to 'fare a metà' than older generations, who often prefer one person to pay the whole amount as a gesture of status or friendship. While traditional dating often saw the man paying, 'fare a metà' is increasingly common on first dates in urban centers like Milan or Rome to establish equality.

If you want to be extra polite, say 'Facciamo a metà per uno?'. It sounds very friendly and clear.
