Hi Ian Pirks,

that's definitely a useful phrase!

Just be careful to write "si dice" instead of "se dice" 😉


Let us know if you have any questions!

Hi Isidor,

because both forms are correct. Buongiorno or buon giorno, no difference. 😉

Why do you write "Buon giorno" sometimes separated and sometimes together, as one word?

The same goes for "Buona notte".
