How to Say "Everything Is Fine" in Italian

va tutto bene

The English phrase "everything is fine" is translated into Italian as va tutto bene.

va tutto bene is used to express that a situation is satisfactory and that there are no problems.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase literally translates to "everything goes well" because it uses the verb andare (to go) instead of essere (to be).

While va tutto bene describes a general state of affairs, note that the phrase tutto è bene is grammatically incorrect in Italian.

Do not use tutto è bene to mean "everything is fine". Instead, use va tutto bene.

If an Italian says va bene while slightly tilting their head and pursing their lips, they might actually be expressing hesitation or doubt rather than agreement.
To say 'everything is fine' in a more formal or emphatic way, Italians might use tutto a posto, which literally means 'everything is in its place'.
The word bene is a direct descendant of the Latin bene, which is also the root of English words like 'benefit' and 'beneficial'.
