How do you apologize to Italians?
How do you apologize to Italians? Mi dispiace is the most traditional way of stating "I'm sorry." You might also say, "Mi scuso," or "Scusa," if you're chatting to a friend.
Is it OK to say Ciao in Italy?
Ciào has become so informal (some may argue too informal) that you most likely would never have an issue using this word as a greeting while roaming around Italy. The word has lost most, if not all, of its negative connotation and is one of the most widely accepted greetings in the world!
