When you start chatting in Italian, there are some simple phrases that can really help. Here are a few that I've found super useful:

Greetings

• Ciao! - Hi!
• Come va? - How's it going?
• Buongiorno! - Good morning!
• Buonasera! - Good evening!

Small Talk Starters

• Che cosa hai fatto di bello oggi? - What nice things did you do today?
• Hai visto l'ultima partita? - Did you see the last game?
• Com'è andata il weekend? - How was your weekend?

Showing Interest

• Davvero? - Really?
• Magari! - I wish!
• Non ci posso credere! - I can’t believe it!

Ending the Conversation

• È stato un piacere parlare con te. - It was nice talking to you.

Using these phrases can help you connect with others better, making your talks smoother and more fun. Enjoy your conversations!
