Eeeh, ci sta!

What does it even mean?! Is my poor husband asking me… "There stays?" There? Where?! 😂

Welcome to another episode of beautiful, slightly confusing Italian idiomatic expressions! 🇮🇹

Fa caldo, it’s late, and you’re exhausted? Ci sta!

You worked all day and don’t feel like going for a run in the roasting, splitting sun? Ci sta!

It’s Friday evening and you want to celebrate surviving the work week with a well-deserved aperitivo? Ci sta!

While "ci sta" can mean a few different things depending on the context, in these situations it undoubtedly means: 👉 "It makes sense!" 👉 "That’s understandable!" 👉 "Fair enough!" / "Right you are!"

Next time you want to sound like a true native when agreeing with someone's choices or feelings, just toss out a casual "Eh, ci sta!"

More? Ci sta! All level classes restarting in September!
