I've seen that "farsi amare" means "to make it loved", but why wouldn't that be "farsi amato"?

1Where did you find this? Farsi amare means To make (someone) love you, farsi amato is not a common expression, but I'd interpreted it as To become loved with a strong archaising flavor– Denis Nardin ♦Commented May 15, 2023 at 7:49

@DenisNardin From the motto of the religious congregation Suore Consolatrici del Sacro Cuore di Gesù: "Cuor di Gesù, amarTi e farTi amare!" ("Heart of Jesus, to love Thee and make Thee loved!")– GeremiaCommented May 16, 2023 at 1:56

Farti is not the same as farsi.– Denis Nardin ♦Commented May 16, 2023 at 6:16

@DenisNardin Isn't it second person vs. third person?– GeremiaCommented May 17, 2023 at 0:08

No, the infinitive tense does not have a person. It's reflexive voice vs active voice with a clitic object.– Denis Nardin ♦Commented May 17, 2023 at 6:54
