1 -to assure, to ensure o to insure?-
Nota d'usoSi usa to assure con il significato di “assicurare” a qualcuno che qualcosa è vero, è certo, soprattutto per dissipare dubbi e preoccupazioni: I assure you that the statistics quoted are entirely correct, ti assicuro che le statistiche citate sono assolutamente corrette. To ensure è un termine più formale; significa “rendere certo, garantire” qualcosa, assicurandosi che questa accada come previsto o in maniera conforme alle aspettative: A judge has been appointed to ensure fair treatment of all cases, è stato nominato un giudice per garantire che tutti i casi vengano trattati in maniera imparziale. In inglese americano, to ensure ha anche lo stesso significato di to insure.Nel campo assicurativo, to assure e to insure, assurance e insurance hanno significati distinti. To assure e assurance si usano in riferimento ad avvenimenti e circostanze certi, soprattutto per la morte, quindi ci si assicura sulla vita stipulando una life assurance. Se invece si stipula un'assicurazione per proteggersi da rischi o perdite che potrebbero non verificarsi, come malattie, furti o incendi, si usano insure e insurance: Insure yourself against illness, assicurati contro la malattia; Insure your house and furnishings, assicura la casa e i mobili. Questa distinzione tra to insure / insurance e to assure / assurance, tuttavia, nel linguaggio quotidiano non sempre viene fatta.English-Italian dictionary > -to assure, to ensure o to insure?-
