sulla stessa lunghezza d'onda
used to say that one person has the same ideas, opinions, or mentality as another person
The idiom "on the same wavelength" originated from radio communication technology. In radio, different stations transmit signals at specific frequencies or wavelengths. When two or more stations are tuned to the same frequency, they can receive and understand each other's signals clearly. This concept was metaphorically adapted to human communication and is now used to suggest a shared understanding or agreement between individuals.

in buoni rapporti
having an enjoyable or friendly relationship with someone and be able to make good interactions with them
The origin of this phrase is unclear, but it likely dates back to the 16th century when "terms" referred to agreements or conditions of a contract. Being "on good terms" would mean that both parties were satisfied with the terms of the agreement and had a good relationship with each other. Over time, the phrase evolved to encompass any positive relationship between individuals, not just those based on contractual agreements.

inn cattivi rapporti
