To follow rules or expectations.
문화적 배경
In Italian elementary schools, children often use 'quaderni a righe' (lined notebooks). The teacher's insistence on writing 'nella riga' (within the line) is a child's first encounter with the concept of 'essere in riga' as social discipline. The Carabinieri (Italian military police) are the ultimate symbol of being 'in riga.' Their formal parades and strict discipline are the national benchmark for this expression. Being 'in riga' is part of making a 'bella figura' (good impression). It shows that you are a respectable person who knows how to behave in public according to Italian social norms. In Italian politics, 'mettere in riga i conti' (putting the accounts in line) is a common phrase used by ministers to describe austerity measures or fiscal responsibility.
