It can be to be in good shape despite having something against it.

A pesar de sus 80 años, Don Pedro está entero.

Juan tuvo un infarto hace dos años y pese a todo, está entero.

El esposo de Ana murió hace dos semanas, pero ella está entera.

Indeed excellent examples! :thumbsup:

So I guess maybe 'entero/a' could be seen as more or less equivalent to 'in tact'? :)

It also dependes on the context. There's ways, like for example:

"fué a ver el jamón, y aún estaba entero" = "he went to ckeck the ham, and it was still whole".

Or:

"el toro estaba muy entero" = "the bull was very much alive/angry".

Saludos, t.

@Turissa: you can edit your postings and leave an explanatory note on why you edited them.

Btw, "fué" doesn't carry an accent. ;)

Talking about male animals, "estar entero" means that he's not castrated (for instance, un toro de lidia está siempre entero, un buey (ox) no lo está)
