Italian Word of the Day

Day 2 - the word is "buongiorno"

State "buongiorno" in the morning. This phrase translates into “good morning” or “good day.”

Pronounce like bwohn-jor-noh 

Buon is derived from the Italian adjective "buono," meaning "good."

Giorno is an Italian noun meaning "day."

As with many other Italian greetings, buongiorno can also mean "good-bye" depending on the context.

Buongiorno and other time-based greetings are considered the most formal way of greeting someone. That said, you can still use these phrases among friends and family.
