Ciao! Introduction to Greetings in Italian

Добро пожаловать на ваш первый урок итальянского языка! Мы начнем с основ: приветствия и представления. Важно знать, как сказать «hello» и «goodbye», и как представиться. Давайте начнем!

Один из самых распространенных способов сказать «hello» или «hi» на Italian это:

Ciao

You can use Ciao with almost anyone you meet casually. It’s like "Hi" or "Hey".

To say "Good morning" you would say:

Buongiorno

This phrase is generally used until noon.

For "Good afternoon" or "Good evening" you would use:

Buonasera

Use Buonasera from noon onwards.

Now, let's learn how to say "Goodbye". A common way to say goodbye is:

Arrivederci

You can use Arrivederci in almost all situations. It's the equivalent of "Goodbye".

Another way to say goodbye, which is a bit more informal, is:

Ciao

Remember, Ciao is used for both "hello" and "goodbye".

Introducing Yourself

Перейдем к представлениям! Чтобы сказать «My name is...» на Italian, вы можете сказать:

Mi chiamo...

You would then follow with your name. For example, if your name is "Maria," you would say:

Mi chiamo Maria

To ask "What is your name?" in Italian, you can say:

Come ti chiami?

This is a common way to ask someone’s name. It translates to "How do you call yourself?"

Another way to ask "What is your name?" but this is more formal, is:

Come si chiama?

Use Come si chiama? when talking to someone older than you or in a business setting. It's "How do you call yourself?" but more respectful.

If you want to say "Nice to meet you", you can say:

Piacere

After someone introduces themselves. You can also say:

Piacere di conoscerti

This means "Nice to meet you" but is a bit longer. If you want to be more formal, you can say:

Piacere di conoscerla

This is more formal way of saying "Nice to meet you".

Asking Simple Personal Questions

To ask "How are you?" in Italian, you can say:

Come stai?

This is an informal way of asking. If you would like to ask a more formal "How are you?" you can say:

Come sta?

Some ways to answer "How are you?" is to say:

Bene

which means "Good". Or you can say:

Molto bene

which means "Very good".

And if you want to say "thank you" you would say:

Grazie

You will hear this often!
