>>48768827>Then why my Mexican ex-girlfriend used to say Ciao? Are Mexicans the latin-american Italians?Is it really unthinkable that they were just borrowing the word like most cultures do with other languages? We say shit like 'sayonara', 'bravo', 'gesundheit', 'siesta', and even 'ciao' in everyday speech here in the US.
Plus, as a few other anons have mentioned, Italian and Spanish have common roots. They both belong to a family of languages called "Romance languages," all of which sprang from Latin. Tchau!
