B2 Expression خنثی

stare per conto proprio

to be on one's own

معنی

Living or working independently.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'Mammoni' phenomenon (adults living with parents) makes 'stare per conto proprio' a major life goal and a sign of true adulthood. In cities like Milan, 'mettersi in proprio' is highly celebrated as part of the entrepreneurial 'Milano da bere' spirit. Family ties are often stronger; 'stare per conto proprio' might be seen as a bit lonely or unusual if one lives in the same town as their family. The 'Partita IVA' (VAT number) is the legal requirement for working 'per conto proprio', and it's a frequent topic of political debate regarding taxes.

🎯

The 'Mio/Tuo' Rule

Always swap 'proprio' for 'mio', 'tuo', or 'suo' in conversation. It makes you sound 100% more native.

⚠️

Don't be rude

Saying 'Voglio stare per conto mio' can sound a bit cold. Add 'Scusa, ma oggi...' to soften it.
