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?

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

A me piace molto suonare il pianoforte. I’m fond of ( = a me piace molto ) playing the piano. A me piace : from the verb ‘piacere’.

A whore : una donna di piacere, una prostituta ( a prostitute ).

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

Mi può aiutare < per piacere > ? Can you help me < please > ?. ‘Per piacere’ stands for ‘please’.

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

Take pleasure in doing something = provare piacere nel fare qualcosa.
