⚠️ The trap

In Italian 'fare confusione' does not only mean to be mentally confused — it often means to make noise or a mess. 'I bambini fanno confusione' = the children are making a racket/mess, not 'the children are confused'.

To say "a state of uncertainty or disorder" in Italian:

confusione (near-equivalent, with extra noise meaning)

"confusione" in English means:

confusion; noise and disorder; a mess

Example

"Non fare confusione — stai zitto un momento!"

"Stop making a racket — be quiet for a moment!"
