معنی
Asking about evening plans.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'aperitivo' is the most common answer to 'Cosa fai stasera?'. It happens between 6 PM and 9 PM and is a key social ritual. In the south, 'stasera' might start later. Dinner at 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM is common, so 'stasera' covers a longer social period. In Milan, 'Cosa fai stasera?' is often used for networking. It's common to meet for a 'drink post-ufficio' (post-office drink). Younger generations use 'Che si fa?' (What is being done?) to ask about group plans in a more collective, informal way.
The 'Perché?' Trick
If an Italian asks you 'Cosa fai stasera?', the most natural response is 'Perché?' (Why?). It shows you are open to suggestions.
Spontaneity is Key
Don't be afraid to ask this on the same day. In Italy, planning for the evening often happens in the late afternoon.
