✦Grammar Breakdown

1

I dati

'Dati' means 'data' or 'details'. In Italian, 'dati' is a masculine plural noun, hence it takes the masculine plural definite article 'i'.

2

della tua

'Della' is a combination of the preposition 'di' (of) and the definite article 'la' (the). 'Tua' is the feminine singular possessive adjective for 'your', agreeing with 'carta' (card).

3

carta di credito

'Carta di credito' literally means 'card of credit'. This is the standard way to say 'credit card' in Italian. 'Di' is used to indicate the type or purpose of the card.

4

sono

'Sono' is the third-person plural conjugation of the verb 'essere' (to be), agreeing with 'i dati' (the data/details).

5

al sicuro

'Al sicuro' is an idiomatic expression meaning 'safe' or 'in a safe place'. It's formed by the preposition 'a' (to/at) + 'il' (the) contracting to 'al', followed by 'sicuro' (safe). It's commonly used for things that are protected.

✕Common Mistakes

  • I dati della tua carta di credito sono sicuri.

    While 'sicuri' means 'safe' as an adjective, 'al sicuro' is the idiomatic expression for 'in a safe place' or 'protected' when referring to data or items. 'Sicuri' would more commonly describe people feeling safe.

  • I dati della tua carta di credito sono in sicurezza.

    Although 'in sicurezza' means 'in safety', 'al sicuro' is the more natural and common way to express that data is protected or kept safe in Italian. 'In sicurezza' might sound a bit more literal or technical.

Cultural Tip

In Italy, as in many other countries, there's a growing awareness and concern about online privacy and data security. Phrases like this are crucial for businesses to establish trust with their customers, especially given recent data breaches globally. Italians appreciate clear and direct communication regarding the protection of their personal and financial information. Using 'tu' (informal 'you') implies a more personal, direct reassurance, often used in customer-facing online services, while 'Lei' (formal 'you') might be used in more formal, official communications.
