Cosa fai stasera?

What are you doing tonight?

Asking about evening plans.

🌍

문화적 배경

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

💬

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.
