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

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

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’.

Why are perceived or real slights interpreted as rejections and reality by pwBPD?

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

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

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 ‘ ).

You found a love potion, and your friend tried to use it on an attractive popular girl, but he accidentally dropped it on the neighbors dog. Now the dog won't stop following him. How would you help him?

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

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

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