I 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.

If you say " Salve " when coming in a place and " arrivederci " when you go out, it will always be fine, everytime of the day

Yes ( pronounced : sal vugh ) I believe is a more respectful / ancient way of greeting ... You might hear it from a local Italian shopkeeper ....

2:55 that guy was so drunk. Had too many. Marc did not lose his cool or get nervous. I'd have run off in the other direction 🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Excellent tips . I love Italy and on previous visits the little Italian I could speak was much appreciated by the locals.

6:03 The Italians are awesome.

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 ...

I'm going to Italy for the first time next week. I've been watching A LOT of your videos to get ready for the trip!

Glad to help out. The other comment thing was spam from a fake account. Got to love KZread. Thanks again and have a great trip!

I wouldn't use "voglio" (I want) when ordering food though. Could be considered impolite

I wish this had come out before my trip in July, lol. I know enough Spanish to usually make the leap in Italian. Having an Italian tour guide, watching videos and just picking up words as I went was just fine. Most do speak English, but I still always tried.

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.

"Salve" - one of the few words I remember from Latin 😀

The very first word I learned in Italian was 'domani' 🙂 Like in 'yeah, we'll get to that tomorrow' or 'sure, we'll fix that tomorrow' 🙂 It was always 'domani, domani' 🙂 Now just so you know, I was still 0 when I first was in Italy 🙂

I will be in Italy at the end of the month. We will be travelling the length of Italy by train. From the Swiss border to Positano.

Not to nit-pick Mark, but ciao is really for friends and acquaintances, when walking into a new place, store, bar, restaurant, then buon giorno is really more appropriate. Grazie.

Thanks for introducing some Italian terminology to our American friends! 🇺🇸🇮🇹 I would only argue about the term “ciao”. It’s very informal, and is usually used by friends, or by adults to young people. You rarely enter a public activity with “Ciao” (apart, of course, if you already know the staff members). With “Buongiorno” and “Buonasera”, I would add “Salve”. A more formal “Ciao”, easy to apprehend and very common in Italy for starting a good conversation.

however if people have a hard time learning a language or a few words, then ciao is just fine.

Italian is so similar to Spanish. All my spanish classes are going to come in handy.

Very 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.

Thank 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?

Your pronunciation is almost spot on but I'd like to correct two accents and a sentence(which is still perfectly understandable even without my intervention) : vorrei= the accent is on the E dov'è = the accent is on the E cosa hai bisogno? = you need to add the preposition DI. Di cosa hai bisogno?

Oh interesting ; a good insight ... I assume salve is better in that case then ...

If all else fails, just remember “(Scusa) puoi parlare l’inglese?” “Can you speak English?”

Italian sounds like if English, Spanish, and French all raised the same baby.

Great video Mark, thanks. I knew some of these and back in the good old days of 1988 and my Europe trip we didn't have the luxury of listening to hear somebody pronounce it unless you bought a book with a cassette. As students we butchered grazie, saying GRAHT-zee. When we got back my father-in-law learning Italian cringed what he heard me say it and corrected me, lol! I knew some phrase Italian and tried to use Spanish where I could, which was sometimes successful and other times so different I wasn't understood. In Spanish for example the word for entrance is similar but exit is salida, way different.

I found ghiacchio to be the most useful word. Ice!
