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.

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

Is it wrong that I picked to be a Christian (as a teenager/14-year-old) even with knowing all of the information about other religions/atheism?

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