B1 Collocation 中性

avere la situazione sotto controllo

to have the situation under control

意思

To manage a situation effectively.

🌍

文化背景

Italians often use this phrase with a touch of irony. If a kitchen is clearly a mess but the food is good, saying 'Situazione sotto controllo' is a way to laugh at the chaos. Projecting 'controllo' is vital in Italian business to build trust (fiducia). It is less about following a rigid plan and more about showing you can handle the 'imprevisti' (unexpected events). In the South, where life can be more spontaneous, this phrase is a common way to reassure worried family members, often accompanied by a 'gesto della mano' (hand gesture). You will see this phrase in almost every headline during a national crisis. It is the government's favorite way to signal stability.

🎯

Use 'Tenere' for effort

Use 'tenere' instead of 'avere' if you want to emphasize that you are working hard to keep things organized.

⚠️

Watch the Article

Don't forget 'la' before 'situazione'. 'Avere situazione sotto controllo' sounds broken.

It is neutral. You can use it with your boss or your best friend.

The opposite is 'La situazione è fuori controllo' (The situation is out of control).

Yes, a doctor might say 'La febbre è sotto controllo' (The fever is under control).

Only if preceded by a verb of thinking or hoping, e.g., 'Credo che lui abbia la situazione sotto controllo'.

Yes, you can say 'È una situazione sotto controllo'.

'Avere' is the state of being in control; 'tenere' is the active maintenance of that control.
