Usage notes
- Most common in the plural: fare le brighe means to scheme or maneuver, not simply to make trouble.
- For everyday 'bother' or 'hassle,' guaio, seccatura, or problema are often more natural than briga.
- Briga for 'quarrel' sounds literary or old-fashioned in many contexts; lite or litigio is more common today.
