⚠️ The trap
'Sicuro' covers both 'safe/secure' AND 'sure/certain'. English separates these into two words. 'Sono sicuro' = I'm sure; 'questo quartiere è sicuro' = this neighbourhood is safe. Learners must use context to understand which meaning is intended.
To say "safe from harm; confident" in Italian:
sicuro (covers both 'safe' and 'sure')
"sicuro" in English means:
safe, secure; sure, certain
Example
"Sei sicuro di voler uscire con questo tempo?"
"Are you sure you want to go out in this weather?"
