Thanks for the great lesson on shopping. I really enjoyed it. As a beginnner, I am having a difficult time with the sentence, “Queste scarpe mi vanno bene.” Please explain the use of “vanno” to me.

Grazie,
Canice

Canice, this is a classic usage of the verb “andare” (to go) as idiomatic expression with the meaning of “to fit”. “Andare bene” is literally “to go well” but the real meaning is actually “to fit well”.
