Always say hello when entering any establishment, or it's considered a little rude, we like greetings in Italia

Ciao and scusa are informal. Better salve and scusi with strangers

Right off the bat I'm turning to another channel because you told us to say Ciao, which is informal and should not be used with strangers. As tourists pretty much everyone we meet will be a stranger unless we're visiting relatives.

You only say ciao to people you know very well (family and close friends) and those who are a lot younger than you (young adults/teens/children). It's not considered polite to use it with just anyone.

I love that in larger markets the past aisles are both sides ALL THE WAY DOWN one aisle ...
and they have a HUGE selection of ready made stuffed pastas typically available ...
Napoli was so distracting a large city , ( and I was traveling alone ... ) that I FORGOT to get Napolitan pizza when I was there !
Ten years later I still find that amusing ...
Do not say Ciao. To strangers
@alananderson7839Itâs sounds so musical and fun to say too. Thank you
@allyson1691Ok...but "ciao" it's very confidential ! It's usually used with friends or people we know well and with whom we are familiar. And above all, if you want to say thank you in our language, please not GRACIAS (spanish) or GRAZI (you need the final E) ... otherwise thank you in your language it's better and appreciated anyway!!!đđđźđč
@gabrielesantucci6189Grazie! I'll be visiting Italy for the first time next month.
@EA-tx8efHow do u say, where's the dive bars that serve whiskey and such. Or is that not a thing in Italy?
@76tony19Don't say ciao to someone who is working. He/she is not a friend of yours. Ciao in this case is rude.
@monicarollo2462Italian is so similar to Spanish. All my spanish classes are going to come in handy.
@melgonz.6962This is FANTASTIC! Thank you
@shonnaroadruck5194I thought in Italy you just have gesture and wave your arms around.
@GK-hc4ylVery helpful thank you since I'm taking a short trip to Italy in a week and did not prepare. Coming from France and family being from Latin America (Spanish-speaking) it's fun seeing the similarities and the differences.
@kueller917Il signore alle spalle đ no comment
@claudiabassi9670I have been trying to learn a bit on Duolingo. Your pronunciation is so good!
@TheTwoofWandsMeth problems even there
@rodhee6812Very cool helpful video thank you! Ciao!
@StMeadMaryThis is a nice condensed summary of tourist basic words.
@kaunas88"Salve" - one of the few words I remember from Latin đ
@kcrossleKMCThe accent in Italianđ
@siderism1062THANK YOU SO MUCH!GREAT HELP!
@annaamorimmI stumbled upon your videos by chance, and was really moved by how much you seem to appreciate our country. I'm glad you had a great time staying here each time you went, and I just wanted to drop a big "Thank You".
@m4dg33kItalian sounds like if English, Spanish, and French all raised the same baby.
@Baseball-huh01Thanks for this! Going in June!
@jean-mariesimpson8989Thank you Marc!
We enjoy your channel and find them so helpful. In your opinion, is it too early to book an April flight to Rome?
I studied Italian on a language app for a year before my trip this year to Italy. Speaking Italian made for an excellent experience with the locals with them being gracious. I like how there are so many cognates in the vocabulary between English and Italian.
@ryanrigleyGreat video per usual!!! All of your videos are so helpful! Weâll be binge watching all of your Italy videos now! đ€ŁđđŒ
@AdventuresofMattandNatSo much like spanish.. languages of love..
@jamietaveras7657I like these videos! Don't know if I'll ever make it to Italy, but I like trying to learn the little bits of useful language.
@Bc232klm6:03 The Italians are awesome.
@grouloulleI was in Italy in 2019 and heading back in November. These little words and phrases really go along way with the locals. They totally respect the effort.
@LIBREPUBIf you say " Salve " when coming in a place and " arrivederci " when you go out, it will always be fine, everytime of the day
@donnie1623Very useful video.
Just have to pronunciate vorrei and birra with hard rrrr.
You have a grasp on niceness. gotta say!
@michaelinminnMolto bene. Gratzie. â
@Eric-fx9xfI found ghiacchio to be the most useful word. Ice!
@gwencampbell4345That is the informal way to say HI and Bye.
