Translation
sane
Definition
Sane describes a person who is mentally healthy and able to think rationally, without delusions or severe mental illness. It often refers to sound judgment, practical thinking, and a balanced state of mind. In everyday use, it can also describe actions or decisions that are reasonable and sensible, as opposed to crazy or irrational. While the core meaning relates to mental health, the term is frequently used figuratively to emphasize logic and clarity.
