Nice!

Everybody should be nice, but if you were nice a long time ago you were.. dumb. “Nice” in Italian doesn’t have a real translation. Maybe because it may be referring to both things or people but generally speaking, we might use “piacevole” (pleasant). “Nice” comes from the Latin  word “Nescius” meaning ignorant from “Nescire” (Not to know). In Old French the same word had the identical Latin meaning, but during the last five centuries this term went through a total metamorphosis ( from “reserved” to “fastidious” to “pleasing”). So, in case somebody is not being nice to you, you can always refer to him as a”nice man 14th century style” (basically a moron). Time to go now, have a NICE day.. Pier.
