How To Say Goodbye In Italian

There are a few things to remember when speaking in Italian. There are formal and informal words or phrases. This indicates that the phrase is spoken differently when addressing friends or relatives, as opposed to speaking with business associates or authority figures. Be sure to use the correct form, as an informal comment to someone that should be addressed with regard may be taking as rudeness or disrespect.

Also, there are various Italian dialects, some of which may sound and be spoken differently. If you know that you will be visiting or speaking with someone that may not speak standard Italian, you perhaps want to learn the differences in dialects to be able to communicate properly. http://www.languagehelpers.com/languagefacts/italian.html

How To Count In Italian

For numbers greater than 10, you will be simply adding the appropriate prefix or suffix to the word. Counting from 11-16, you will be adding the term dici to the end of the original number. For example , 11 is said as "one plus ten" or undici, 12 is said as two plus ten or dodici and so on. Until the number 17 where the order is switched. The number 17 is said as "ten plus seven" or diciassette, 18 is said as "ten plus eight" or diciotto. http://www.slowtrav.com/italy/language/counts01.htm

This method is also used in higher numbers and remains constant through 100. When speaking a number such as 24, 36, 47 and so on, you will be essentially saying twenty plus four, thirty plus six and forty plus seven. Listed are the Italian terms for the numbers associated with multiples of ten.http://www.slowtrav.com/italy/language/counts02.htm

20 venti (VEHN-tee)

30 trenta (TREHN-tah)

40 quaranta (kwahr-AHN-tah)

50 cinquanta (cheen-KWAHN-tah)

70 settanta (seht-TAHN-tah)

80 ottanta (oht-TAHN-tah)
