Grazie per la deliziosa cena. Buona serata! Thanks for the delicious dinner. Have a good evening! Buona giornata, avvocato. Have a good day, sir. (Note: In Italian, one would use the professional title of the person such as “lawyer”. But in English we would drop the title and politely say “sir,” or leave it off entirely). Ciao – by Martins Krastins (creative commons) The word ciao (pronounced CHOW) is, today, thought of as very much Italian, but its origins are in the Venetian dialect. (That dialect has proven to be a rich source of words we use in English, too, but that’s a subject for another article.) In the Venetian dialect, the phrase s-ciào vostro COME STA? Come sta? also means How are you?, but it is the formal singular form. This means you should use it with someone you have a formal relationship with, like a teacher, a business acquaintance, or someone you don’t know. The pronunciation of Come sta? is: COH-meh stah. Grazie : Thank you: Don’t be frugal with the use of grazie (thank you) in Italy. Grazie comes from grazia, meaning grace. It is one of the most commonly mispronounced words by non-Italians. Most visitors say /graht-see/. The correct pronunciation is actually /graht-see-eh/. Grazie mille : Thanks a lot, thanks a million Molte grazie; We use this expression to say “Thanks a lot” in Italian. We say this to express gratitude to a higher degree than a simple grazie. For example: A: Signorina, ho trovato il suo biglietto. (Lady, I’ve found your ticket). B: Molte grazie, signore! Pensavo di averlo perso. (Thanks a lot, sir! I thought to have lost it) How to say thank you in Italian. There are many ways to say “Thank you” and among them are: Grazie. Grazie mille. Grazie di cuore. You can say. ti ringrazio tanto. to a friend. La ringrazio tanto. is more formal. When you receive a gift, you can exclaim: Grazie. È troppo bello! – Thank you. It’s very beautiful. Or you can say. Grazie Thank you, that's so nice of you to say. Grazie, mi fa piacere che tu lo dica. [ɡrˈat͡sje mˈi fˈa pjat͡ʃˈere kˈe tˈu lˈo dˈika] grah-tsee-eh mee fah pee-ah-che-reh keh too loh dee-kah: Informal: Thank you, that's so nice of you to say. Grazie, mi fa piacere che Lei lo dica. [ɡrˈat͡sje mˈi fˈa pjat͡ʃˈere kˈe lˈɛi lˈo dˈika] The direct translation for no problem in Italian is nessun problema and unlike English, it can be used in any context, informal or formal. This expression is made up of two words: nessuno, which means nobody, nothing, and problema, which obviously means problem. You will never hear it as “nessuno problema”. What does grazie mille mean in Italian? English Translation. thank you so much. More meanings for Grazie mille! Thank you very much! interjection. Grazie mille! thanks a million. To say 'you're welcome' use ' de nada '. Gracias is a two-syllable word, not three - English speakers tend to add in an extra syllable which makes gracias sound more like 'grassy ass'. Hover over the colored letters and listen to the audio. In French, 'thank-you' is ' merci ', and in Italian it is ' grazie '. A to D. UAO7gH.
