What does it mean "andare"? It means "to go". The verb "andare" is being used when we talk about moving towards an object or a person. It's being used with a preposition "da" for people, an example: vado dal medico - I go to the doctor. With a preposition "a" for places, an example: vado al cinema - I go to the cinema. We use it also to ask somebody how does she/he feel, an example: Come va? - What's up?

There are also other expressions like: ANDARE IN PORTO, literally: to go to the harbour - to achieve a success!

A little bit of grammar!

And... Sicilia!

In sicilian dialect to say "go" we use a word "AMUNI". Here is an example:
Siciliano: amuni amuni ca scuro' !
Italiano: andiamo che sta facendo buio!
English: Let's go let's go, it's getting dark!

It’s easy to be happy in Sicily. But it takes a biological adjustment more than a cultural one: you need to learn to live time in a Sicilian way.
