Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Che piacere

What a pleasure
Rivedervi
ree-veh-DER-vee
To see you again
💬 [rivedere] is [vedere] with [ri-], which adds the idea of "again": [vedere] = "see," [rivedere] = "see again." The [vi] on the end means "you all" or formal plural "you": [rivederti] for one person, [rivedervi] for more than one.

keh pya-CHEH-reh ree-veh-DER-vee
It's a pleasure to see you again.
💬 The ending [‑vi] in [rivedervi] means "you all" or formal plural "you." Swap it the same way with other verbs: [conoscerti] = "to meet/know you" (one person), [conoscervi] = "to meet/know you" (more than one).
See breakdown →Come state?
KOH-meh STAH-teh
How are you?
🇮🇹 This uses plural [voi], so it fits when you're greeting both in-laws together. To one person, you'd say [Come sta?] if you're being polite or [Come stai?] if you're on informal terms.

To see you again
💬 After [di], Italian often uses the full verb with a person attached to the end: [vederti] = "see you," [vedervi] = "see you all." The [di nuovo] part means "again," and it can go with lots of verbs: [parlare di nuovo] = "to talk again."
