Usage notes
- Usually takes a direct object: influenzare qualcuno/qualcosa. Don't add a before the person affected.
- More direct than avere influenza su or incidere su; common in everyday and formal Italian.
- The medical sense 'to give someone influenza' is rare; learners almost always need the figurative sense.
