Ciao
''Ciao'' ( , ) is an informal salutation in the Italian language that is used for both "hello" and "goodbye". Originally from the Venetian language, it has entered the vocabulary of English and of many other languages around the world. Its dual meaning of "hello" and "goodbye" makes it similar to ''shalom'' in Hebrew, ''salaam'' in Arabic, '' annyeong'' in Korean, ''aloha'' in Hawaiian, ''Drud'' (''Bedrud'') in Persian, and chào in Vietnamese (the latter is a false cognate; the two words are not linguistically related despite sounding similar to each other). Etymology The word derives from the Venetian phrase ''s-ciào vostro'' or ''s-ciào su'' literally meaning "(I am) your slave". This greeting is analogous to the medieval Latin '' servus'' which is still used colloquially in parts of Central/Eastern Europe or the antiquated English valediction "Your Obedient Servant." The expression was not a literal statement of fact, but rather a perfunctory promise of good will a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Piaggio Ciao
The Piaggio Ciao (''ciao'' means "hi" or "bye" in Italian) is a family of moped produced by Piaggio from 1967 through 2006. Specification It has a rigid rear, and a leading-link front suspension. Some models include a sprung seat-post. The engine and drive-train are cleanly enclosed, similar to Piaggio's scooters. The Ciao uses a belt drive, unlike most other mopeds which are chain driven. Some models have an automatic continuously variable transmission. Braking is by front and rear drums. Power for the lamps, horn, and ignition is from a magneto; there is no battery. However, models with turning signal lights were equipped with a 6-volt battery for the blinkers to function. On newer models, the plastic fuel cap also serves as a measuring cup for the 2% oil-fuel mixture. In some countries, such as Canada in the 1970s, it was branded as the Vespa Ciao. Model variants include: * Ciao SC ''(round saddle rack, saddle and suspension seatpost; light at the rear fender; racks are n ...

Berenyi had written the song as a duet after Lush drummer Chris Acland jokingly asked to sing a song on the new album. Ultimately, Acland declined and Cocker provided guest vocals, possibly because, accordin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
