Cultural Tip
In Italian, the construction 'andare bene' is the most natural way to say that something turned out successfully. For more formal or written contexts you can use 'andare a buon fine' or 'riuscire'. Remember that the past participle must match the gender of the subject – 'andato' for masculine 'trasferimento', 'andata' for a feminine noun like 'la spedizione'.
