Notas de uso
- Use provocare for causing results or reactions: provocare un incidente, una crisi, una risata. For creating something intentionally, prefer causare or creare depending on context.
- Provocare often sounds stronger and more direct than causare, especially with negative consequences or emotional reactions.
- For 'to challenge' or 'dare' someone, Italian usually uses sfidare, not provocare.
