    Two different contexts:
    1. You was sick. Now you're feeling better. How are you? "Meno male" (less ache than before)
    2. Meno male=luckly or thank goodness

    /meno male/ ha un significato idiomatico in genere, che e` diverso
    dal significato 'alla lettera' della frase:
    -- oggi sto meno male di ieri.

    (ho scritto una spiegazione con esempi in una domanda precedente)

    Altra tua domanda:
    not bad (= good) in italiano si dice : non male, oppure /non c'e` male/
