Formal and Informal: How to be Polite in Italian

In Italian, it's important to know that there is a formal and an informal way to address another person. Unlike in English, our version of being formal and informal is the difference between not swearing or just using more sophisticated words.

Italian has an informal tense which is used when speaking with good friends, young people, children, and your family members. Basically, anyone you know well.

However, when speaking to a person you don't know well such as a superior, shopkeeper, waiter, teacher, professor, or someone of important social standing such as a doctor, or police officer, then you should address him or her in the formal tense.

When you become more familiar with someone, you may change from using the formal tense to the informal tense. According to custom, the elder person initiates this change.It's handy to learn both tenses even if you don't use the informal very much. Whenever in doubt, the safe option is to use the formal tense.

Italian Greetings: 10 Common Ways Italians Say 'Hello'

1. How to say 'Hi' in Italian – Ciao!

How to pronounce it: chaow
Meaning: Hi, Bye
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

This is the most common Italian greeting that actually means both 'hello' and 'goodbye' and can be used at any time of the day.

When you are meeting some friends, for instance, be it morning or evening, you can say 'ciao' both when you meet and when you say goodbye. Since 'ciao' is an informal greeting you only use it in conversations with friends or family or people you know very well. Avoid using it with people of high social importance such as police officers, doctors, your boss or a teacher.

The origins of 'ciao' are rather interesting too with its roots in the Venetian dialect. The original phrase was 'scia'o vostro' which literally meant 'I am your slave'. This phrase was typically used to say 'I am there if you need me'. Similar to the English 'at your service', it was an expression or promise of goodwill among friends.

Nowadays, 'ciao' is one of the most popular greetings not only in Italy but in the whole world. Languages around the world have adopted 'ciao' as one of the ways to say hello and/or goodbye.  In Germany, for example, it can be spelled 'ciao' or 'tschau', in French it's 'tchao' in Czech it's spelled 'čau', in Greek it's 'τσάο' and in Spanish it's 'chau'.  And that's just to name a few!

However, if you don't want to repeat the same word all the time or need something more formal, here's a formal Italian greeting you can use.

Depending on how you say 'ciao' it can also take on a new meaning. For example, in Italian and Portuguese, when you say it twice, either 'ciao ciao!' or 'tchau tchau!' it means 'goodbye', but when you say it three or four times, it means "bye, I'm in a hurry!".

When an Italian is super happy to see you, they will drag out the pronunciation of the 'a', which is them basically saying "Hi! I'm so happy/amazed to meet you!"

Want to be sarcastic? Italian's might say something like 'sì, ciao!', meaning 'Yeah, right!'.

2. How to say 'Hello' in Italian – Salve

How to pronounce it: sal-veh
Meaning: Hello, Bye
Usage: Informal and formal Italian greeting

Many Italian greetings can be clearly classified as formal or informal, but 'salve' is a special case. Like 'ciao', it means both 'hello' and 'goodbye', but it is also viewed as both formal and informal, depending on the context. However, it does tend to be a little more on the formal side. You probably won't hear 'salve' from someone you've been good friends with for a long time. When in doubt, the safest bet is to say 'salve'.

The word 'salve' comes from the Latin verb 'salvere', which means 'to be well, in good health', related to 'salvus', 'health'. The English words 'to salute' and 'salutations' have similar roots.

You can use 'salve' if you want to 'salute' someone in a formal or informal situation at any time of the day.

3. How to say 'How nice to see you' in Italian – Che piacere (ri)vederti

How to pronounce it: keh pyah-chair-ray (ree)veh-der-tee
Meaning: How nice to see you (again)
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

'Che piacere vederti!' and 'Che piacere rivederti!', literally means, 'What a pleasure to see you' and 'What a pleasure to see you again' respectively.

If you want your greeting to be a little more enthusiastic and emotional, tell the person that it is a pleasure to see them. 'Piacere' means 'pleasure'.  In fact, these two words originated from the same Latin root.

Use this greeting when they want to tell someone how happy they are to see them (vederti) or see them again (riverderti).

Italians tend to use this expression when they haven't seen someone in a while or with someone they see often but are genuinely happy to see them again.

4. How to say 'Good Morning' in Italian – Buongiorno

How to pronounce it: bwohn-jor-noh
Meaning: Good morning
Usage: Informal and formal greeting used before 3-4 p.m

Just like in English, some Italian greetings are only appropriate for a certain time of the day. It would feel weird if someone greeted you with a 'good afternoon' or a 'good evening' at 10 a.m., wouldn't it?

'Buongiorno' literally means 'good day' and it is used to say 'good morning' and 'good afternoon' in Italian. You can safely use it up until around 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon.

'Buongiorno' is a formal alternative to 'ciao' (but until 4 p.m.) and it is a good polite phrase to use whenever greeting a stranger or in a public place, like a shop or a cafe.

5. How to say 'Good Afternoon / Good Evening' in Italian – Buonasera

How to pronounce it: bwoh-nah-seh-rah
Meaning: Good afternoon/ Good evening
Usage: Informal and formal greeting used after 3-4 p.m

From late afternoon, from 4 o'clock onwards, you no longer can use 'buongiorno' – well, you can, of course, but it will sound a little strange. Instead, say 'buonasera', which literally means 'good evening'.

It is okay to say 'buonasera' up until as late as 10 p.m., in formal and informal situations. People use it with friends, but it is slightly more polite than 'ciao' and, like 'buongiorno', it is a polite phrase to use when you enter a shop or another public place where you're likely to encounter people you don't know..

When you are leaving and want to wish someone a good evening, you can say 'buona serata'.

6. How to say 'Hey' in Roman – Aó!

How to pronounce it: aaow
Meaning: Hey! Hi! / Wow!
Usage: Informal Roman dialect greeting

When in Rome, do as the Romans do….use Roman greetings! If you want to sound Roman and impress your newfound Roman friends, then say 'Aó!'. This is a very informal greeting and not really used anywhere else in Italy as it's from the Roman dialect Romanesco. Get more cool Roman dialect words and expressions here.

This common Roman greeting is very common among friends and you'll often hear them say something like 'Aó! Ciao! Come te butta?' meaning 'Oh Hey! Hi, how's it going?'. (Come te butta? literally means 'How are you throwing yourself'. I just love the imagery!

'Aó' is also used as an exclamation to mean something 'wow' and is added either to the beginning or end of a sentence for emphasis.

7. Say 'Buon dì' as an alternative to 'Buongiorno'

How to pronounce it: bwohn dee
Meaning: Hello, Good morning
Usage: Informal and formal Italian greeting

'Buon dì' is a variation of 'buongiorno' that literally means 'good day' and is used to say hello at around the same time and in both formal and informal situations. 'Dì' comes from a Latin word 'dies', which means 'day'.

Buon dì greeting is less used than 'buongiorno' but will add variety to your speech and impress your Italian friends. They will, naturally, be glad to just hear 'ciao' or 'buongiorno' from you, but 'Buon dì, come va?' (Good morning, how's it going?) might win you a few more points.

8. How to say 'Nice to meet you' in informal Italian – Piacere di conoscerti

How to pronounce it: pyah-chair-ray dee koh-noh-sher-tee
Meaning: Nice to meet you
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

When you are introduced to someone – in any part of the world – you need to know how to reply. Most languages probably have some equivalent of saying 'nice to meet you'. The Italian one is 'Piacere di conoscerti!', used in informal situations. You can even ship the second half of the phrase and just say 'Piacere!'.

It is quite common for the following exchange to happen when two Italians meet for the first time: Piacere. — Piacere (Nice to meet you. — Nice to meet you, too.). Another possible reply is 'altrettanto'.

9. How to say 'Nice to meet you' in formal Italian – Piacere di conoscerLa

How to pronounce it: pyah-chair-ray dee koh-noh-sher-lah
Meaning: Nice to meet you
Usage: Formal Italian greeting

Unlike English, Italian has an informal and a formal 'you' – 'tu' and 'Lei' and a few related forms. It is important to remember this when talking to your superiors at work, older people and people of important social rank such as doctors, and law enforcement officers.

'Piacere di conoscerLa' is a formal way of saying 'nice to meet you' to someone you would also use the form pronoun 'Lei' with.

10. How to say 'Hello' on the phone in Italian – Pronto!

How to pronounce it: pron-toh
Meaning: Hello! (lit. ready)
Usage: Neutral Italian greeting

When answering the phone, Italians don't say 'ciao' or even 'buongiorno, they say 'Pronto!' which means 'ready'. In other words, they are 'ready' to listen and 'ready' to talk. It is used in both formal and informal situations – after all, you can't always predict who is on the other end of the line!

Next time, when your Italian teacher or your friends from Italy call you, greet them with a 'Pronto!' – they will be glad to hear it!

Tips for using Italian Greetings

When greeting someone, Italians often use a combination of all the greetings shown above. For example, in Rome you might hear: 'Aó! Ciao! Come stai!', or 'Salve, Buongiorno!', or 'Salve! Che piacere vederti!'

There are as many ways to say 'goodbye' in Italian as there are Italian greetings. Read on to find out how to correctly bid an Italian 'goodbye'.

16 Ways to Say 'Goodbye' in Italian

1. How to say 'Bye!' in informal Italian – Ciao!

How to pronounce it: chaow
Meaning: Hi, Bye
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

Ciao is a versatile Italian greeting, you can say it when you meet your friends and when you are parting ways after hanging out. It's easy to remember but it may get a tad repetitive (that is why there are 15 other options for saying 'goodbye' in this section!). As an informal word, you shouldn't really say 'ciao' with people you don't know well.

When you are leaving a group of people, mix things up by saying 'Ciao a tutti!' (Bye, everyone!) or 'Ciao ragazzi! (Bye guys/gals!)

2. How to say 'Bye!' in formal Italian – Salve!

How to pronounce it: sal-veh
Meaning: Bye
Usage: Informal and formal Italian greeting

'Salve' as a goodbye functions the same as 'salve' as a greeting: it is totally fine to use it with friends, but it is also okay in a formal setting. That is why it is one of the best options to go for if you are not quite sure how formal the situation is or if you don't know someone well.

3. How to say 'Bye bye!' in Italian – Ciao! Ciao!

How to pronounce it: chaow chaow
Meaning: Bye bye!
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

Did you think that saying 'ciao' both as a 'hello' and a 'goodbye' was repetitive? Well, get ready for more! Italians often say 'ciao' multiple times when saying goodbye – 3 or 4 times, sometimes even more, especially when speaking on the phone.

4. How to say 'Have a good day' in Italian – Buona giornata

How to pronounce it: bwoh-nah jor-nah-tah
Meaning: Have a good day
Usage: Informal and formal Italian greeting used before 3-4 p.m

As you may have noticed, Italians do have a tendency to use the same words to say hello and goodbye – which only makes it easier for us to remember!

'Buongiorno' or 'buona giornata' can be used to wish someone a good day as you leave. You can say 'buona giornata' anytime up until around 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

What do you say after 4 p.m.? That's what we're looking at next!

5. How to say 'Have a good evening' in Italian – Buona serata

How to pronounce it: bwoh-nah-seh-rah-tah
Meaning: Have a good evening
Usage: Informal and formal Italian greeting used after 4 p.m

'Buona sera' is used in the same as 'buongiorno', only after 3-4 p.m. It is slightly more formal, but you may also hear it used among friends.

6. How to say 'Godspeed' in Italian – Buon proseguimento

How to pronounce it: bwohn pro-seh-gwee-men-toh
Meaning: Enjoy the rest of your day/evening, Godspeed
Usage: Informal and formal Italian greeting, anytime of day

A common alternative to 'buona giornata' and 'buona serata' is 'buon proseguimento', which wishes the other party an enjoyable rest of their day, evening, or journey home.

7. How to say 'Goodnight' in Italian – Buonanotte

How to pronounce it: bwoh-nah not-teh
Meaning: Good night
Usage: Informal and formal Italian greeting, when leaving to go home or to bed

Going to bed? 'Buona notte' is an equivalent of the English 'good night' and is used when it's assumed that everyone is going home to bed.

If you're out with friends and leave earlier than that others, it is better to say 'buona serata' or 'buon proseguimento', as you're wishing for them an enjoyable (rest of the) evening.

8. How to say 'Goodbye' in Informal Italian – Arrivederci

How to pronounce it: ar-ree-ve-der-chee
Meaning: Goodbye
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

Along with 'ciao', 'arrivederci' is one of the most popular ways to say goodbye in Italian, and quite well-known outside Italy too! It literally means, 'until we see each other again' from the Italian verb 'rivedere' (see again)

9. How to say 'Goodbye' in Formal Italian – ArrivederLa

How to pronounce it: ar-ree-ve-der-lah
Meaning: Goodbye
Usage: Formal Italian greeting

'ArrivederLa' is a more formal way to say 'arrivederci'. But isn't 'arrivederci' already formal? It is definitely more formal than 'ciao' but there may be a situation where you need to increase the degree of formality even more, to demonstrate your respect and politeness.

You use 'arrivederLa' when you are speaking to one person, the 'ci' in 'arrivederci', is the plural version. If you speak to an elderly person, it's a good idea to use 'arrivederLa' – it won't sound pompous or pretentious, it will only highlight your respect.

Of course, situations may differ. You can be super-informal with your grandma or on friendly terms with all the big bosses at work. However, when dealing with a foreign culture, it is best to be a bit on the formal side at first before you get to know the people and the culture better.

10. How to say 'See you later' in Italian – A dopo

How to pronounce it: ah doh-poh
Meaning: See you later (literally, until later)
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

'A dopo' is an Italian equivalent of the English 'see you later' but is only used when you're actually going to see the person again later that day.

Imagine seeing a foreign guest off at the airport and they say 'see you soon'. It is not that big of a mistake, but it feels weird as you are unlikely to see them again soon or maybe at all.

11. How to say 'See you soon' in Italian – A presto

How to pronounce it: ah pres-toh
Meaning: See you soon (literally, until soon)
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

Italians take their goodbyes seriously. Or, to be more exact, literally. Similar to the previous example, do not say 'a presto' if you are not going to see the person soon.

If you are leaving work for the day and saying goodbye to your colleagues who you will see the next day – great. If you have been traveling in Italy and are leaving to go back to your home country – this is not the best choice. Instead, saying 'arrivederci' would be more appropriate.

12. How to say 'See you tomorrow' in Italian – A domani

How to pronounce it: ah doh-mah-nee
Meaning: See you tomorrow (literally, until tomorrow)
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

Can you see the pattern yet? 'A' followed by a time frame will specify when you plan on seeing the person again – in this case 'domani' (tomorrow). It goes without saying that you would only say 'a domani' when you're actually going to see the person the next day, like a friend, tour guide or to the barista at the cafe where you get your morning coffee.

13. How to say 'See you in a bit' in Italian – A tra poco / A fra poco

How to pronounce it: ah tra poh koh / ah fra poh-koh
Meaning: See you in a bit (literally, until a little)
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

'A tra poco' or 'a fra poco' can be used interchangeably with 'a dopo'. Perhaps, you are running a little late for a meeting with a friend and you are calling to say that you're almost there and will see them in a few minutes – you can finish your call with 'a tra poco'.

14. How to say 'See you' in Italian – Ci vediamo

How to pronounce it: chee ved-yah-moh
Meaning: See you (literally, until we see each other)
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

Just like 'a presto', 'ci vediamo' should be used when you are going to (or hoping to) see the person again soon. For example, if you're having breakfast with a friend who you will see that evening at a party, you could say: Ci vediamo stasera, buona giornata! – I'll see you tonight, have a good day!

15. How to say 'Bye' in informal Italian – Ti saluto! Vi saluto!

How to pronounce it: tee sah-loo-toh / vi sah-loo-toh
Meaning: See you, bye (literally, I salute you)
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

This tongue-in cheek salutation is a fun alternative to bidding your friends goodbye. Say 'ti saluto' when you're talking to just one person and use 'vi saluto!' when addressing more than one person.

Use this fun Italian salutation as you leave by saying something like, 'Ora torno a casa, ragazzi, vi saluto!' – I'm going home now, guys. Bye!

Just the word 'saluto' is also commonly used to end written correspondence to friends and family. For example, 'Grazie Mario, un saluto a te e famiglia' – Thanks Marco, greetings to you and the family.

16. How to say 'Take Care' in Italian – Stammi bene /  Statemi bene

How to pronounce it: stahm-me beh-nay / stah-teh-me beh-nay
Meaning: Take care (literally, stay well)
Usage: Informal Italian greeting

'Stammi bene' (singular) is the Italian equivalent of saying 'take care (of yourself)'. It is used a lot when seeing off friends and close family members in person, but it can also be used in writing. 'Statemi bene' is the plural form you can use to say goodbye to a group of friends.

Tips for saying 'Goodbye' in Italian

Similar to Italian greetings, Italians often use a combination of several different expressions when saying goodbye. For example, 'Ciao ciao! Ci vediamo' or 'Ciao! A dopo!', 'Buona giornata! ArrivederLa'.

Gesti Italiani: How Italians say 'hello' and 'goodbye' with gesti (gestures)

Italians are an animated bunch and love using their hands or gesti (gestures) to express themselves. Body language plays a big part when Italian greet each other and say goodbye.

Kissing on the cheek is big in Italy. This is reserved for close friends and family and between men (although maybe a tad less common).  To avoid an embarrassing accidental kiss on the cheek, the rule to rule is to kiss the left cheek first and then the right.

If you're on less familiar terms, the first time you meet someone, a traditional handshake is common. Once you get to know the person, you'll no doubt move into cheek-kissing territory. Pucker up!

From a simple bacio sulla guancia (a kiss on the cheek) or un abbraccio (a hug), match your Italian greeting with these common gestures:

• Informal: A kiss on each cheek, and/or a hug with friends and relatives.
• Formal: Shake hands with new acquaintances and in formal situations

5 Ways to ask 'How are you?' in Italian

1. Come sta? – How are you?

How to pronounce it: koh-meh stah
Meaning: How are you?

5. Come te butta? – How are ya?

How to pronounce it: koh-meh vahn-noh leh koh-zeh
Meaning: How are ya? (literally, How are you throwing yourself?)
Usage: Informal Roman dialect greeting

In Standard Italian, you would say either 'come va' (how's it going?) or 'come stai' (how are you?), but in Romanesco, the verb 'buttare' (meaning 'to throw') is used. So, you're literally saying, 'how are you throwing yourself?'
