Answer 2

Si - La parola ciao (ha pronunciato il "chaow") è un saluto o un saluto informali italiani verbali, un significato sia "arrivederci" o "ciao". Inizialmente dalla lingua Veneziana, era adottato da italiano ed è entrato alla fine il vocabolario di inglesi e di molte altre lingue intorno al mondo. La parola è soprattutto usata come "arrivederci" in inglese, ma in italiano moderno e nelle altre lingue che potrebbe significare "ciao" o "arrivederci".

Ciao is Italian for both hello and goodbye but it is only used in the informal sense (talking to people you know well and to young children). Otherwise, you use buongiorno for hello and arrivederci for goodbye. Bella simply means beautiful so the phrase bella ciao, more commonly ciao bella means hi beautiful or bye beautiful.
