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?

I’m pleased to meet you. Piacere di/è un piacere (= I’m pleased ) conoscerla.

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 ‘ ).

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

A brothel : una casa di piacere ( even though it's more common the expression ‘ casa di tolleranza ‘ ).

A whore : una donna di piacere, una prostituta ( a prostitute ).

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