When to use it

What it means

'Posizione' = position/location. 'Ti mando la posizione' = I'll send you my location. WhatsApp's live location sharing ('posizione in tempo reale') and one-time location sharing ('posizione attuale') are both widely used. Also: 'manda la tua posizione' (send me your location).

Mini Dialogue

— Non so dov'è il ristorante. — Ti mando la posizione adesso. — Grazie! Sto arrivando. Cinque minuti. — Ok! Ti aspetto davanti all'entrata.

Cultural Note

Location sharing ('condivisione della posizione') has become a key Italian family safety tool. Many Italian parents share live locations with children ('figli') on WhatsApp or use dedicated apps like 'Life360'. Italian parents, particularly mothers ('mamme'), are known for requesting location confirmation when children travel — 'Mandami la posizione!' is a classic Italian parental text.
