Introducing yourself
First impressions are important — they can start a friendship or set the tone for your interaction with someone. > The simplest greeting is **Ciao** or **Buon giorno**, which means Hello or Good Day. > The two most common ways to introduce are to say **Mi chiamo //Name//** (My name is //Name//) or **Sono** **//Name//** (I'm Name). > Use the formal **Lei** (singular you) when speaking to people you don't know well; in situations such as in stores, restaurants, hotels, or pharmacies); and with professors, older people, and your friends' parents. Save the informal **tu** (singular you) and **voi** (plural you) for friends, relatives, younger people, and people you know well. > The formal **Loro** (plural you) is rarely used and is gradually being replaced by the informal **voi** when addressing a group of people: > **Come ti chiami?** (What's your name? [Informal]) > **Lei come si chiama?** (What's your name? [Formal]) > **Piacere!** (Nice to meet you!) > **Piacere di conoscerla** (Pleased to meet you.)
