What are some examples of the use of the word “piacere” in Italian? What do they mean and how would you translate them into English?

A. Thank you very much. B. It's a pleasure ( = don't mention it ). In Italian you translate ‘ It's a pleasure’ in : prego ( or ‘ non c'è di ché ‘ ).

I’m pleased to meet you. Piacere di/è un piacere (= I’m pleased ) conoscerla.

Take pleasure in doing something = provare piacere nel fare qualcosa.

Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?

Piacere : to like. A me piace spesso mangiare un’insalata. I often like to eat a salad. I like : a me piace.

A whore : una donna di piacere, una prostituta ( a prostitute ).

Mi può aiutare < per piacere > ? Can you help me < please > ?. ‘Per piacere’ stands for ‘please’.

I saw a post on X which says "control your lust & you'll understand how boring 90% of women are." What do you think about it? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

A brothel : una casa di piacere ( even though it's more common the expression ‘ casa di tolleranza ‘ ).

A me piace molto suonare il pianoforte. I’m fond of ( = a me piace molto ) playing the piano. A me piace : from the verb ‘piacere’.

In fact the noun piacere is translated into ‘pleasure’. Life’s pleasures : I piaceri della vita.
