A2 Expression 中性

sano e salvo

safe and sound

意思

Unharmed and in good condition.

🌍

文化背景

The phrase is a staple of the 'Mamma Italiana' vocabulary. It represents the relief of the family unit when its members are reunited. In port cities like Venice, this was a technical status for ships returning from the East, indicating no disease and no loss of cargo. Italian news (TG1, ANSA) uses this phrase almost exclusively for successful mountain rescues or finding missing children. The word 'salvo' (saved) has religious roots in Italy, implying a sort of divine protection during the journey.

Agreement is Key

⚠️

Don't swap the words

Never say 'salvo e sano'. It sounds unnatural to Italians.
