Like, after going to a concert, that was a great time, everyone's smiling, they had fun.

You could say, it's safe to say that everyone loved the concert.

So you can confidently say it.

Or you could say after missing my flight, it is safe to say it has been a terrible day.

So you are just kind of making an assumption based off this one bad thing that happened that your whole day is just kind of awful.

And you want to make sure with this phrase that you're not using it with facts that are completely obvious.

Like you wouldn't say it's safe to say that Paris is in France.

Most people know that.

That's just a basic fact.

But you would say, it's safe to say that she's not very happy about our decision.

So you're kind of making some assumptions using your evidence.

It's not super obvious to everyone, but you can confidently say it.

Now, if you've ever watched a police show or a detective show, you might have heard them say that they are going to get to the bottom of something.

We also just use this in our everyday English to mean that we're going to figure out something or get the truth about something.

I want to get to the bottom of this.

I want to find out what happened.

Let's try to get to the bottom of this to see what went wrong.

So you're figuring out the truth.

You're figuring out the details when you're unsure about something or it's unclear what actually happened.

So we definitely use this phrase more often when something is suspicious or confusing or very mysterious.
