You suck guys... What does BACCIO mean?!?!? It is not even italian... The right transation of KISS is BACIO but at the end of a letter u r not gonan write just one kiss but u r gonna write KISSES and the right transaltion is BACI. Also the second answer suck... It really seems coming from GOOGLE TRANSLATE because "Che lei abbia una buona giornata" it is completely wrong, it doesnt mean anything at all, instead LE AUGURO UNA BUONA GIORNATA is perfectly right. But dont worry dudes it is good to try...

PS: "La ringrazio per il tempo che hai dedicato alla lettura della mia lettera, a presto, ciao" THIS IS PERFECT but if it is ur boyfreind's mom u r gonna have a more confidentail behavior and it is even better write TI RINGRAZION PER IL TEMPO DEDICATO ALLA LETTURA DELLA LETTERA, A PRESTO, CIAO

·!¦[·Ålαи ¢øи ѕµ þяøρια νøz·]¦!· SPERO CHE LEI ABBIA UNA BUONA GIORNATA is perfect too or ABBIA UNA BUONA GIORNATA but as i said before it is ur boyfreind's mom and it is better say SPERO CHE HAI UNA BUONA GIORNATA

Italian letter writing?

Please could anyone tell me how to start and end a letter in Italian?
Is there a rule like Yours sincerely/Faithfully?

thank you :)

admin answers:

It depends on what kind of letter you are writing. If it's informal, e.g. You're writing to a close friend or a relative, you would start by ''Caro/Cara'' or ''Mio caro/mia cara'' [male/female]. You would end the letter with ''baci'' (kisses), ''abbraci'' (hugs), ''un bacione'' or ''saluti e baci'' (greetings and kisses) or simply ''A presto'', ''Ci vediamo'' = See you soon.

You could also use ''carissimo/carissima'' if you're extremely close to that person.

If you're writing a formal letter, however, that's where you have to be careful.
The most common openings are ''Gentile Signore/Signora'' (alternatively Egregio Signore/Signora).
But if the person you're writing to holds a title (doctor, professor, lawyer, etc.), then you MUST acknowledge it in the opening of your letter, meaning:

Dottore/Dottoressa - Professore/Professoressa - Avvocato/Avvocata, etc.

E.g.: Professore Puglisi, [...]

Finally, you would end your letter most commonly by ''Distinti saluti'', which would translate as ''Best/Kind Regards'' in English.
If you wish to add ''Thank you in advance'', that would be:

Grazie in anticipo/Grazie fin d'ore/Grazie anticipate

Hope this helped!

How to say 'I love you, Grandma' in Italian?

My grandmother passed away this Tuesday and I'm writing a letter to place with her. I'd like to end the letter with "I love you, Grandma' in Italian because she used to teach me words in Italian when I was little and this was something very special between us. Could someone please help make sure I get this right? Thanks.

admin answers:

"Ti amo" is only used between lovers.
If you're addressing a relative or a friend you must say "ti voglio bene".
In this case, the sentence would be "ti voglio bene, nonna".
