뜻
To be loyal and supportive.
문화적 배경
Friendship is often considered a 'chosen family'. A 'vero amico' is expected to attend all major life events. The concept of 'comparaggio' (godparenting) often formalizes 'true friendship' into a spiritual kinship. Younger generations use 'fra' (short for fratello) to signal the same level of loyalty as 'vero amico'. Italians often prefer to do business with 'amici'. A 'vero amico' in business is someone who won't cheat you.
The 'Vero' Position
Always put 'vero' before 'amico' to sound more natural and idiomatic.
Gender Agreement
Don't forget to say 'vera amica' for women. It's a very common mistake for English speakers.
