The word CIAO comes from the Venetian language's s-ci vo or s-ci o, Italian schiavo, slave.



Originally it was used as a salutation (greetings, hello, good-bye) said by a servant to his boss, or mostly as a very formal greeting among the aristocracy when there was rank involved. Literally translated, the phrase sciao means, "I am your slave."




From the times of its origin to now, it lost the s and became the more informal ciao, and became a very common greeting or good-bye among friends and relatives
 
So, next time I use CIAO, dont take that as I swear to you. :flaming:
 
鬼老用这个,中国人不用的.你在这里用,没用.
你懂挺了不起的.
 
I just need to clarify something.

To all those who applies

I just wanted to say bye, I AM NOT SWEARING AT YOU!!!
