USI E COSTUMI: Lei(Italian uses and customs)

Why do Italians use the polite form of address?

The polite form of address "Lei" is feminine because it comes from

“La sua Signoria"- His Lordship/Her Ladyship-a feminine noun in Italian

Ciao! Origins and transformations

The informal greeting CIAO derives from S’CIAO (Veneto dialect):

“I am your slave” [at your service/orders!]

Used in 1700 Venice by servants when addressing their
