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 ‘ ).

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

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

Can I add pencil on top of my dry brush oil painting? Reason being it's easier to draw darker hair colour. Will pencil lead and oil paint interact and cause something horrible?

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

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

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

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

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’.

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