Kisses

Did you know? Italians usually kiss each other twice, one kiss on each cheek, when greeting friends and relatives.

Like in English, we say to kiss or to give a kiss, which would be baciare or dare un bacio.

Mio padre bacia mia madre appena ritorna.
My father kisses my mother as soon as he returns.

Perché non le dai un bacio?
Why don't you give her a kiss?

I Need It!

The most common way to say you need something in Italian is avere bisogno di. Because this expression contains avere, be sure you are using the right verb form.

Ho bisogno di una penna.
I need a pen.
Hai bisogno di una vacanza.
You need a vacation.
