⚠️ The trap
Very close in meaning. However, Italian 'agitato' is used far more casually in everyday speech than English 'agitated'. Italians say 'sono agitato' where English speakers might say 'I'm nervous' or 'I'm flustered'.
To say "troubled, nervous, stirred up" in Italian:
agitato (true cognate, but collocations differ)
"agitato" in English means:
agitated, restless, worked up, flustered
Example
"Perché sei così agitato? Calmati un po'."
"Why are you so worked up? Calm down a bit."
