GREETINGS
Just as in English, there are several ways of greeting people in Italian, depending on who you are addressing, and whether you want to be formal or not. Say buongiorno (good morning) or buonasera (good afternoon/good evening), if you want to sound polite.
HelloâŠ
| Buongiorno. | Hello. |
| Buongiorno signora Rossi. | Good morning, Mrs Rossi. |
| Buongiorno Francesco, come va? | Good afternoon Francesco, how are you? |
| Buonasera. | Good evening. |
BUONO A SAPERSI!
buon pomeriggio (good afternoon) exists in Italian. However it is only used on the radio or television, for example by newscasters. It would sound a bit odd if you greeted people saying buon pomeriggio: stick to buongiorno or, later on in the day, buonasera. Remember to say buongiorno or buonasera as you enter a shop or a restaurant.
Use salve (hi) if you wish to sound a bit more informal, whether you know the people you are greeting or not. If youâre on friendly terms with someone or if you are addressing somebody young, you can say ciao (hi).
HiâŠ
| Salve, cerco Matteo. | Hi, Iâm looking for Matteo. |
| Salve, come va? | Hi, how are things? |
| Ciao ragazzi, come va? | Hi there, how are things? |
Use arrivederci to say goodbye to people you donât know well. You can just say ciao to people you know or to somebody young. buongiorno and buonasera are also often used to say goodbye.

| Arrivederci. | Goodbye. |
| Arrivederci, signora Clari! | Goodbye, Mrs Clari! |
| Ciao, ci vediamo domani. | Bye, see you tomorrow. |
| Allora io vado, buonasera a tutti. | Iâm off, goodnight everybody. |
