Please change definition to 'sane, healthy'...won't save to DB with me.
Sano is a false friend. It does not mean sane. An older definition of sane is healthy, which is what sano means.
Some sources: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sano#Etymology_4 http://www.merriam-webster.com/spanish/sano http://www.lexiophiles.com/english/sano-and-still-not-so-sane http://yucalandia.wordpress.com/living-in-yucatan-mexico/spanish-false-cognates/
Ah, so how do you explain that insano means insane LOL? Ref:Babylon, SpanishDict, wordreference.
Then I pop Babylon to check what 'sane' would translate to, 1st answer 'sano'. So what would be 'sane' in Spanish, cuerdo or maybe sano de mente?
Actually I got confused due to my origins. French saying: sain de corps et d'esprit.
Cuerdo is the first definition I get in most dictionaries, sano doesn't even come up in a lot.
