However, a more common translation in the context of hiking would be 'Non provocare l'orso', which literally means 'Do not provoke the bear'. But 'Non stuzzicare il can che dorme' is a direct translation of the idiom and it's often used to convey the idea of not disturbing someone or something that is best left alone."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really helpful, thank you! So, if I want to give my friend some general advice about dealing with bears while hiking, I could use 'Non provocare l'orso'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Exactly! 'Non provocare l'orso' is a great way to convey the message of not disturbing or provoking bears while hiking. However, if you want to use the idiom 'Don't poke the bear' in a more figurative sense, to mean not to provoke or annoy someone, then 'Non stuzzicare il can che dorme' would be a good choice."}]
