"to hit a nerve" означает затронуть человека так, что он разозлиться или раздражиться. Этот идиом приравнивают к значению задеть за живое, хотя я не уверенна насколько это дословно. В Русском он больше предпологает обиду или глубокие чувства, а в Английском иммено раздражение. Пример:
Did I hit/struck a nerve? = Я тебя как-то задел?

Idiom BrE, AmE - to touch someone's feelings in an intense way (positive or negative), causing a person or a group of people to react in an impulsive or overtly dramatic manner.

This idiom ranges from neutral to slightly informal.

E.g. Another weird and clandestine managerial decision seems to have hit the company stakeholders' nerve. For the time being, they keep wondering whether it's an epiphany or a mistake.
