Subject:

Other

Level of diffculty:

Easy / medium

Word or term in question:

le sta combinando un piattino

Context:

Qualche giorno dopo, Pession mi disse: "Badi che Alfieri le sta combinando un piattino...

Keywords:

...Io ho già messo le mani avanti. Ma, cosa vuole, io non ho voce in capitolo con quella gente." Poi mi spiegò che si parlava della venuta al ministero, in veste di supervisore delle tramissioni per l'estero, del ministro plenipotenziario Armando Koch, noto allora per i suoi sentimenti filo-germanici.

He's setting her up...

My comment:

To "combinare un piattino" is a figurative way to say that someone is intentionally fooling or deceiving someone else. It literally means to set someone up, to make them believe they will probably obtain something they want when instead they will find themselves caught up in a complete different situation, most of the times a negative one.
