No, you can't return the product: Va Fa In Culo
No Discounts: Upe yo asse (Pronounced Up-eh yaw @ss-eh)
I'm not listening: Itsa spicy meataball
Go Away: Shutuppa ya face
I'll go get the manager: Testa Di Cuzzo
I am the Manager: Shutuppa ya face
1)you cannot translate "ciao" both with "Hello" and "Goodbye",definitely it's not the same.
2)"You're welcome" is surely not translated with "prego",it means "Sei il benvenuto",that translation was totally wrong.
3)Same as Bump=vino......????? Vino=Wine!!!
For not speaking of the poor attempts to translate italian insults.........

I think you might be thinking that I mean, something like "you are welcome to my home"???

Originally posted by BowmannOkay, that would fit in some situations. It could also be "here you are" in some situations, I guess. Ah, German is so much easier - we just say "bitte" for just about anything. 😉 "Please", "you're welcome", "don't mention it", "prego" - it's all "bitte".
Don't mention it!

How would you translate "prego" to English?
Yes,"Prego" it's like "bitte",it's used for many situations but definitely NOT for saying "you're welcome"............

Originally posted by NordlysWell,I don't know what to say,if you come here and say prego meaning "not at all" and "you're welcome" people will look you like a fool.........
http://it.wordreference.com/it/en/translation.asp?iten=prego&v=b
According to that page, "prego" can mean "not at all", "you're welcome" or "please".
On this online translator you don't have "Prego" as a translation for "not at all" or "you're welcome"................
Tell me,would you translate "Please" with "not at all"????
