Stai davvero bene.
sty dahv-VEH-roh BEH-neh
[sty dahv-VEH-roh BEH-neh]
💬 Usage Tip: [davvero] often works like "really" in the middle of a sentence: [sei davvero gentile], [è davvero bello]. It's a very common way to make a compliment sound more natural, not overly dramatic.
🇮🇹 In Italy: Like [stai benissimo], this sounds more personal than praising an object someone is wearing. It can be perfectly kind, but with strangers it depends more on tone and context.
