"Sandez" refers to any action or statement that is considered foolish, nonsensical, or lacking sense. It is often used to describe behavior or remarks that are not just silly but lack rationality or wisdom. The term is relatively common in both oral and written contexts, but it may appear more frequently in written forms such as essays, articles, or critiques due to its somewhat formal connotation.
"Ese comentario fue una verdadera sandez."
"That comment was true nonsense."
"No le hagas caso, siempre dice sandeces."
"Don't pay attention to him; he always says foolish things."
"La sandez que propuso durante la reunión sorprendió a todos."
"The foolishness he proposed during the meeting surprised everyone."
"Sandez" is not commonly featured in a wide array of idiomatic expressions, but it can be part of certain phrases that imply foolishness or lack of sense. Here are a few examples:
"No hagas sandeces."
"Don't do silly things."
"El mundo está lleno de sandeces."
"The world is full of nonsense."
"A veces me sorprende la sandez humana."

"Sandece tras sandece, su discurso se volvió aburrido."
"Nonsense after nonsense, his speech became boring."
"Escuchar sus sandeces es agotador."

The term "sandez" derives from the adverb "santo" which is related to "sano," meaning healthy or sound. Over time, with the addition of the suffix "-ez," which denotes a state or condition, "sandez" evolved to refer to the condition of being foolish or nonsensical.
