The short and simple answer: "save" is a verb meaning "to protect from danger", "safe" is an adjective meaning "not in danger". The policeman saved the old lady from the criminal. The old lady is safe. There are a few meanings where the words are quite different, for example: It's important to save money (NOT: "I have safe money in the bank", "save" can only be a verb when it means "keep money") However the simple rule "save = verb, safe = adj" should work most of the time.

Yeah I would imagine it would be confusing because the words almost sound the same. The word safe means not exposed to danger or risk. You are safe. For example. I lock the door to my house just to be safe. The word save means to keep something.. For example: Every month I save half my money I receive. Sorry if this isn't the best explanation but I hope it helps.

the word safe means that theres no danger, and the word save means e.g. to save money, so you can buy the expensive new shoes.(so it means to hold back something)
