Used when someone unintentionally makes a situation awkward or uncomfortable for others.
Use 'di' after the phrase when followed by a noun or infinitive verb: 'creare imbarazzo di qualcuno' (to cause embarrassment to someone).
This phrase is often used in social settings where someone unintentionally makes a situation awkward. It does not imply malice.
The phrase combines the verb 'creare' (to create) and the noun 'imbarazzo' (embarrassment). 'Imbarazzo' derives from the Spanish 'embarazo' (obstacle, embarrassment), which in turn comes from the Latin 'imbarazzare' (to hinder, to embarrass).
This phrase is used in both formal and informal contexts. It implies unintentional or accidental awkwardness rather than deliberate humiliation.
