I am currently in Italian year 4 and speak the language nearly fluently. I decided to teach some basic italian to others.
Well, lets get started!
Greetings/Farewells:
Caio (chow) This greeting means both hello and goodbye. It is like a slang"ish" way of saying it.
Arrivederci (ahrivadarchi) A formal way of saying good bye
Salve (salveh) a more formal way to say hello
Sentence Starters:
Come ti chiami (cohmeh tee kiahmee) This means "what is your name?"
To answer that you say: Mi chiamo _____ (or mi chiama_____) You fill in your name where the "____" is.
Come Stai (cohmeh st"eye") This means how are you.
You answer this with Sto Bene Grazie (stoh beneh gratzie) which means very good thank you.
That's some basics. I will be back with Italian For Retards (Part II) shortly.
