Grammar & Usage
How it works
A reflexive causative construction formed by the reflexive verb 'farsi' (to have oneself / allow oneself) followed by the infinitive 'vedere' (to see) and the direct object 'la gola' (the throat). It implies that the subject is having a medical professional examine their throat. The reflexive pronoun agrees with the subject (e.g., 'farmi vedere la gola', 'farti vedere la gola').
