Answer 2

In this context, your friend will go through pain, so the meaning of "hold fast" can be translated into two different things.

1)Tieni duro! = Which stands for, its your last effort! keep your forces up!

2)Attento a non muoverti! =Be careful! Dont move from your place, or you will get huge pain!

It depends on what you wish to say to him.

Italian native.

Answer 3

"To hold fast" (as in "to stay where you are," am I correct?) is translated as "rimanere fermo" in Italian.

"Hold fast!"

"Rimani fermo!"

Answer 4

Tell him that it means "Tenere saldamente" as in "Non lasciare" or "Mai lasciare" in the physical sense.

"Rimanere fermo" means to "remain firm" in one's opinion or belief.

A hold fast is an accessory used on a woodworking workbench to fix a workpiece to the top or side of the bench
