How to Say ‘Are you sure?’ in Italian
Ne è sicuro?
neh eh see-KOO-roh
[neh eh see-KOO-roh]
💬 Usage Tip: ne means "of it/about it". sicuro goes with di, and ne replaces that di + the thing you're sure about.
🇮🇹 In Italy: Using the polite form keeps a question about the fare respectful, so you're checking rather than accusing. It's the calm way to start a dispute.
