How to say Good morning in Italian

The Italian word that is used to say Good morning, Buongiorno, is also used to say Good afternoon, because Giorno translates to Day. The word-for-word translation for Good morning, Buon mattino, is never used to greet people.

Good afternoon can also be translated as Buon pomeriggio. The difference with Buongiorno is that Buon pomeriggio is only used… in the afternoon!

Friends use Ciao a lot, the equivalent of Hi. This greeting has no hourly limit.
