뜻
To feel optimistic.
문화적 배경
Journalists often blame a loss on 'morale basso' rather than tactics. It's a key part of sports analysis. In Italian offices, 'fare morale' means to do something (like getting coffee together) to boost the group's spirit. Italians generally appreciate 'solarità' (sunniness). Having 'il morale alto' makes you a more desirable social companion. During difficult historical moments, 'tenere il morale alto' is seen as a patriotic duty of resilience.
Gender Trap
Always use 'il' (masculine). 'La morale' is a completely different concept (ethics).
Verb Choice
Use 'tenere' (to keep) instead of 'avere' when you want to sound more encouraging to others.
