Italian and Spanish lexicon is quite similar, yes. Grammatics are not that easy to compare (e.g. different use of subjuntivo) but at a basic level an Italian and a Spaniard can understand each other, just like a German and a Dutch can.

But "chao" and "ciao" are pronounced the same way and used in both Spanish and Italian sentences. Therefore, it sounds more Italian/Spanish because it's used in both languages for roughly the same meaning.

So- Can you tell me please that I'm at least somewhat right?Like, when I travel to Italy this summer, I will be able to understand a little bit more of the language (like, not knowing it exactly- but not completely clueless) because I am somewhat fluent in Spanish?Like my Italian grandmother was able to help my mom with her Spanish homework.That's plausible because the languages- when spoken nowadays- are pretty close?

Hey man don't get angry, I am Italian, and I know what I am saying since I studied it at University. I just said that Italian is MORE similar to Latin than French is, I didn't say Italian IS Latin.

You are an idiot. French ihas preserved many parts of Latin that no other langage has today.Italian is NOT Latin. Just because Rome is in italy. The Roman empire NEVER had a border set in the shape of ITALY.A lot of Italy has Greek, and Celt DNA, And WTF is with the "Yo" you sound like a dumbass black wannabee

French is, among Romance languages, the one that has gone furthest away from latin itself, due to phonological, syntactical and lexical changes: Old and Modern French are so different from one another that it is difficult for a learned Frenchman to read The Chanson de Roland, while for an Italian it is quite easy to read Dante, and the same can be said for el cantar de mi Cid in Spanish.Yo!

It is the fact that you said Ciao, sounded Spanish/Italian. the italian Chao, is just a word taken from Italian, and converted into Spanish frammer. it was;t actually part of the spanish languageP.S. Chao refers to several Asian Nouns, and many are Chinease, so the man was right in it sounding Chinease."No" sounds Enligsh, English is Germanic, yet it uses the same Latin format.

Well then I'm not wrong. Italian and Spanish in this context are closer than Italian and French. Your point is moot.

Yes. You can. Words and phrases that mean "Good-bye" in Spanish:"Hasta lavista""Hasta luego""Hasta mañana""Buenos noches""Hasta prontos" "Adios""Chao"And quite a few more.I spent over six years learning Spanish. My close friends are Hispanic.I kinda know what I'm talking about.

French is the closest to Latin next to Italain. This is what I meant. Not the exact wording

P.S. Not to mention, in Spanish, you can also use 'Ciao' for 'Goodbye.'

Not according to my Italian grandma <3Both Spanish and Italian have the same basic set up in their sentences and both are phonetic. French is not. "My name is"Spanish: Me llamoItalian: Mi chiamoFrench:Je m'appelle"Please"Spanish: Por favorItalian: Per FavoreFrench: s'il vous plaît;"Where do you live?" (formal)Spanish: ¿Dónde vives?Italian: Dove vive?French: Où vivez-vous?I fail to see how French is closer to Italian than Spanish is(<-Has taken lessons in all three languages).

"Spanish/Italian"? learn a language lesson. French is closer to Italian than Spanish is.

Ciao does not sound Chinese >.> Ciao is more Spanish/Italian. Ni-hao sounds more Chinese because it is Chinese. That may be where the confusion is.
