What is the French 'Adieu' in English and Italian?

Answer 1

Farewell is an English equivalent of the French 'Adieu', which literally means 'To God'. The equivalent in Italian is 'Addio', which is pronounced 'ahd-DEE-oh'. It's formed from the preposition 'a', which means 'to'. The masculine gender noun 'Dio' means 'God'.

Answer 2

Ciao is an informal Italian equivalent of the English word "Goodbye." The greeting in fact may be translated into English as "bye," "hello," or "hi" depending upon the context. Regardless of meaning or use, the pronunciation remains "tchow" in Italian.
