| Did you notice the last greeting? |
| Ciao! |
| Hi! |
| Ciao! Hi! Ciao! Ciao! |
| In informal situations, you can just use the greeting, ciao, "hi," at any time of the day. |
| Ciao is the most common greeting in Italian. |
| However, it's only suitable for informal situations, such as when greeting friends or relatives. |
| It translates as "hi" or "hello," but it can also mean "good-bye." |
| Because of this, you can use ciao both as a meeting and parting greeting. |
