Italian word
sano
healthy, wholesome
Looks like
sane
having a sound mind; not mentally ill
⚠️ The trap
'Sano' means physically healthy or wholesome. English 'sane' refers to mental soundness. To say someone is mentally sane, use 'sano di mente'. A very common mix-up.
To say "having a sound mind; not mentally ill" in Italian:
sano di mente (for mentally sane)
"sano" in English means:
healthy, wholesome
Example
"Mangiare frutta e verdura è sano."
"Eating fruit and vegetables is healthy."
