Notas de uso
- For a physical hold, stretta often appears in phrases like dare una stretta di mano or tenere in una stretta, not usually alone.
- For government or police pressure, stretta is common in journalism: stretta sui controlli, stretta fiscale. Giro di vite is often stronger or more idiomatic.
- Do not confuse stretta with stretto as an adjective. Stretta is the feminine noun; articles and adjectives must agree: una stretta severa.
