Ciao in Spanish

Why no mention of the common use of 'ciao' in Spanish?

i di nont ageer

Actually ciao is italian. In spanish, it is spelled chao and is only used in South America and some parts of central america

Hello! I must disagree. In fact, I'm Spaniard and I say chao usually with my compatriots.

So do I.

List of greetings

What's the point of the list of greetings? Shouldn't there rather be a greetings category?

Indeed the list is out of place here. It may belong to an article on greeting phrase or somehing like that. Here one should keep only a list of cognates of the word "ciao", in those languages that have them. (In Brazil, for instance, it should be Tchau! and not Oi!".)

Vietnamese

The Vietnamese word for "hello" and "goodbye" is "chào". While it sounds like Italian, it is not derived from Italian but is a native word. DHN 22:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you could note that in the list of the article, or even in the beginning. 80.30.16.130 (talk) 20:31, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greeting that means hello and goodbye

Is there a word for the type of greeting that means both hello and goodbye (such as Ciao or Aloha)?

Milanese?

"A Milanese proverb/tongue-twister says "Se gh'inn gh'inn, se gh'inn no s-ciào" (If they are - meaning money - they are, if they aren't. In Italian: "Oh, va be', s-ciào" (Oh, well, never mind)" The first sentence is probably in Veneto and not in Milanese. Moreover in Milanese the form "s-ciào" is not used. The second sentence although written in Italian is not Italian, maybe is used in some regions like Veneto. --192.33.238.6 19:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
