    farsi controllare da un medico

    Grammar & Usage

    verbal phrase
    neutral

    How it works

    This phrase uses the reflexive causative construction 'farsi + infinitive', which translates to 'to have oneself [verb]ed' or 'to get [verb]ed'. The agent performing the action ('un medico') is introduced by the preposition 'da'. In compound tenses, reflexive verbs in Italian take the auxiliary 'essere' and require past participle agreement.
