Review Summary
- Buongiorno / Ciao
- Mi chiamo + [Name]
- Grazie / Prego
- Come stai?
- Arrivederci
常见错误
Ciao is too informal for strangers. Always use Buongiorno in professional settings.
Do not add a verb like 'è' (is); the phrase 'Mi chiamo' already includes the reflexive 'call myself'.
Stai is informal. Use the formal 'Come sta' when speaking to someone you don't know well.
