a buon diritto

Rightly

Deservedly.

🌍

문화적 배경

Italians often use legal terminology in daily life to sound more authoritative. This reflects the country's history as the cradle of Roman Law. While 'raccomandazione' (nepotism) is a discussed social issue, the phrase 'a buon diritto' is used to celebrate the opposite: success based purely on talent. In Italian universities, oral exams are the norm. Using sophisticated phrases like this can actually improve a student's grade by showing linguistic mastery. Italian newspapers (like Corriere della Sera) are known for a high literary style. You will see this phrase in almost every editorial section.
