Just out of interest

What does "Ciao" mean in Italian. I have so far known it to be bye

Let me know when you find out,I dont know..

I am sure someone on here will confirm it for me, someone said it was a greeting, which I doubt it

ciao escl
(all'arrivo) hello!, hi! , (alla partenza) bye(-bye)!

I thought it was just a greeting but could be used as goodbye as well.

Oh well, thanks Jon, a double meaning

Darn Italians and their double meanings

did it on google translate , it does mean bye

Yup, but I had an Italian friend who said it was just meant "bye" pfffft
