To get started and have your first basic conversations in Italian, you will need to learn your first words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greetings – How to say hello and goodbye in Italian<\/strong>
Ciao<\/strong>
You probably already know the word “ciao” – this greeting, “ciao”, can be used not only as “hello”, but also as “goodbye”. “Ciao” is a very informal form of greeting, but if you are in a more formal situation, it is always better to use other types of greetings, like the ones below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buongiorno<\/strong> “good morning”.
Buongiorno principessa! a well-renouned reply from the movie La vita \u00e8 bella<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salve<\/strong>
“Salve” is a slightly more formal greeting than “ciao” but not as formal as “buongiorno”. When you meet someone for the first time, and he or she is a little older than you or you are not sure how old he or she is, it is more respectful to say “salve” than a simple “ciao”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Salve” is the ideal word to use when you don’t quite know what kind of formality to have with a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buonasera<\/strong>
Don’t be surprised if you hear Italians say “buonasera” as early as 3 o’clock in the afternoon. This can also refer to afternoon\/evening, although “la sera” is literally the part of the day between sunset and complete darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The period between 12 noon and sunset is called “pomeriggio”. In fact, another greeting, but less used, is “buon pomeriggio”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrivederci<\/strong>
When you want to say “goodbye” in a more formal way than “ciao”, you can use the word “arrivederci”. Of course, you don’t say “arrivederci” to a friend, but you do say “arrivederci” to a taxi driver or a shop assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una buona giornata<\/strong>
If you really want to make a good impression when you leave a place, such as a restaurant, you can say “una buona giornata”, i.e. “have a nice day”. You can also use the expression “una buona serata!” if it is late in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A presto<\/strong>
When you are talking to someone you know (or expect) you will see very soon, you can say “a presto”, i.e. “see you soon”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dopo<\/strong>
If you are sure you will see or talk to someone later in the day, the best way to say goodbye is to say “a dopo” which means “see you\/talk to you later”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
