to be on guard

معنی

Paying attention to potential threats.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'Allerta Meteo' system is color-coded: Verde (No risk), Gialla (Potential danger), Arancione (High risk), Rossa (Extreme danger). Italians check these regularly during autumn and winter. The phrase reflects Italy's history of city-states and fortresses, where being 'all'erta' on the city walls was a matter of survival. In the context of 'furbizia', being alert is seen as a sign of intelligence and social competence, protecting oneself from being 'fregato' (scammed). Official government documents use 'stare in allerta' to define the legal state of readiness for emergency services.

💡

Use with 'per'

Always remember to use 'per' to explain what you are alert for (e.g., stare in allerta per il vento).

⚠️

Don't over-use

It's a strong phrase. If you use it for small things, you'll sound paranoid.
