Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Piacere
pya-CHEH-reh
Nice to meet you
🇮🇹 [Piacere] on its own is a very normal first-meeting formula in Italy, including professional settings. It's brisker than the full sentence and sounds natural at networking events.
See breakdown →Di conoscerti
dee ko-noh-SHER-tee
To meet you
💬 At the end, [ti] is attached to the verb: [conoscere] + [ti] becomes [conoscerti], "to meet you." You'll see the same pattern in [aiutarti] "to help you" and [chiamarti] "to call you".
See breakdown →Piacere di conoscerti.
pya-CHEH-reh dee ko-noh-SHER-tee
Nice to meet you.
🇮🇹 With someone new at a career event, this is friendly and natural. If you want more distance or formality, Italians often avoid [conoscerti] and use a more formal wording instead.
See breakdown →Sono qui
SOH-noh kwee
I am here
Per il career event
pehr eel kah-REER ee-VENT
For the career event
💬 [Per il] is just [per] + [il], unlike [nel] or [del], which merge into one word. So you say [per il colloquio], but [nel settore] and [del progetto].
See breakdown →Sono qui per il career event.
SOH-noh kwee pehr eel kah-REER ee-VENT
I'm here for the career event.
Lavoro
lah-VOH-roh
I work
Nel settore marketing
nehl seht-TOH-reh MAR-keh-ting
In the marketing sector
💬 [Nel] is a merged form of [in] + [il]. The same thing happens in [del] = [di] + [il] and [al] = [a] + [il].
See breakdown →Lavoro nel settore marketing.
lah-VOH-roh nehl seht-TOH-reh MAR-keh-ting
I work in marketing.
💬 Italian often says [lavoro nel settore marketing] where English just says "I work in marketing." [Settore] is a useful reusable word for talking about a field: [nel settore IT], [nel settore turistico].
