Usage notes
- For appointments, meetings, and dates, fissare is more natural than organizzare: fissare un appuntamento, fissare una riunione.
- For 'stare at,' use fissare directly with the object: fissare qualcuno. Guardare is broader and less intense.
- As a transitive verb, it takes avere in compound tenses: ho fissato l'incontro, not sono fissato.
