⚠️ The trap
Fermare means to stop or arrest someone. 'Fermo!' = 'Stop! Don't move!' 'To firm' in English means to make solid — completely different.
To say "to make firm or solid" in Italian:
solidificare, rafforzare (for to firm up)
"fermare" in English means:
to stop, to halt, to detain
Example
"La polizia ha fermato l'auto."
"The police stopped the car."
