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. 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 ‘ ).

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

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