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 me piace molto suonare il pianoforte. I’m fond of ( = a me piace molto ) playing the piano. A me piace : from the verb ‘piacere’.

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

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

Why would calling me an incel help anything? How does that solve anything? Why can’t you actually be helpful and offer productive honest advice?

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 ‘ ).

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

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