Questions & Answers about Per me va bene così.

Why is it per me and not io or a me?

Per me means for me / as far as I’m concerned.

In this sentence, per me introduces a personal point of view:

• Per me va bene così = As far as I’m concerned, it’s fine like this.

You cannot use io here, because io is a subject pronoun, and this phrase is not built with I as the subject.

You may also hear a me va bene così, which is also correct, but it has a slightly different feel:

• a me = to me
• per me = for me / in my opinion / from my side

So per me sounds a bit like giving your stance, while a me sounds a bit more like the thing is acceptable to you personally.

What does va bene mean literally?

Literally, va bene comes from andare bene, which means something like:

• to go well
• to be okay
• to work
• to be fine

So va bene literally means it goes well, but in natural English it usually means:

• it’s fine
• that’s okay
• that works

This is a very common Italian expression.
