A2 Expression ニュートラル

essere felice

to be happy

意味

Feeling joy.

🌍

文化的背景

Happiness is often expressed through food and family gatherings. A 'felice' person is often one surrounded by loved ones at a dinner table. There is a strong emphasis on 'felicità' as a shared, communal state. Festivities and religious processions are times to 'essere felici' together. Giacomo Leopardi, one of Italy's greatest poets, wrote extensively about the impossibility of being truly 'felice', creating a cultural trope of the 'melancholic Italian'. The song 'Felicità' by Al Bano and Romina Power is an unofficial anthem of Italian joy, defining happiness through simple daily acts.
