Italian Course Beginner Series Lesson 30: Greetings & Salutations Video Lecture | Learn Italian Language: For Beginners and Travellers

welcome it's cloudy again and it's time
for some italian greetings and
salutations so today we're gonna have a
look at how to greet people and be a bit
more polite
okay so we've already learned how to say
hi or goodbye and that's chow chow okay
so the sound chat the sound sure like in
chair at and OH
chow so when it comes to be a little bit
more polite in Italian we substitute
shower with Salva Salva not too
difficult to pronounce and it's a very
short word so you shouldn't cause you
any trouble you should learn this
because it's a very polite version of
ciao which is used among adults and
people that don't know each other so if
it's the first time for you to have a
chat with somebody I don't know a police
officer or a friend above a guy who
you've just met you want to use Salva
their favo order this is the translation
are please so this is the translation of
the word please
for instance if you want to say if you
were in the restaurant and you want to
order a pizza you already know how to
pronounce pizza and that is pizza pizza
and we know that it's a feminine word it
ends in a therefore it's feminine
so one peter would be una pizza y una
well the reason why we put muna is
because Peter is a feminine word and
it's singular therefore we know that the
right indefinite article for pizza is
una if you don't know this then go back
and watch the indefinite articles video
or not pizza this means 1 Peter now
saying to a bartender or a waitress 1
Peter isn't polite you're going to be
asked a question at the very best so
what we want to say to order a pizza in
a restaurant is una pizza better 5 order
so 1 Peter please this is actually very
common very polite and completely
correct and you'll hear this a lot
anyway in restaurants and in Beach
30-year pizzeria is a place it's
basically a restaurant that sells pizza
and that's it it's not fast food so
you're meant to sit there you get your
table and there's gonna be a huge amount
of Peters to choose from ok so they have
a huge selection and they have special
ovens just four paces just for baking
pizzas so this is very common it's a
particular type of restaurant and of
course you'll hear there's a lot ok what
if he was to Peter's please then we
would have to change the ending of the
word pizza to make it plural and because
the word is feminine we would put E and
this would change it would become
they'll if they let pizza better for now
this doesn't make much sense because
it's literally it means some pizzas
please ok so we would have to change
something we would have to put like do
wear which means to for instance but any
number other than one in 1.5 would be
good ok arrivederci arrivederci this is
difficult to pronounce if you can't
truly your tongue yet but don't worry
that will come later this is very calm
it means see you later and of course
it's more polite than ciao
you can still use ciao to say goodbye to
someone but I think if we want to be
more polite and we if we speak to
somebody we don't know we want to stop
using ciao and start using Salva and
arrivederci
you can actually use Sava even when
you're leaving so it's also a way of
saying see you later
so you can either use Salva or
arrivederci arrivederci literally means
I will see you soon and we see you again
so it's it's nice if you want to make it
more polite you can also say I relieve
it IRA Videla if you're talking to just
one single person and you want to be
very very polite but you don't need to
know this you need to know this though
and then here we have the Italian
translation for good morning good
afternoon good evening and good night
and basically born means good warna is
the feminine version of the same of the
same adjective and not that means night
and it's feminine although it behaves
very strangely as you can see it ends in
E and not in a but this is an irregular
word it's still feminine the word
evening Sara means well it means evening
and if you want to make it a little bit
more polite you add tar so instead of
buona sera you can say buona sera but
you don't have to it's up to you
whatever sounds best in your opinion
learn that one Paul Mary Jo means
afternoon and the word Giorno literally
means day
when you say born Jordan are you
basically mean good morning or have a
good day
so you say it in the morning okay guys
