Answer 7

Yes it's italian and it means "hi nice girl" or like in all previous answers! Anyway, I just wanted to add that we use that phrase a lot in Italy, also women to women. It's like a way to say, particullary when we are salutating someone.

Obviously it's a favourite phrase for guys when they're out with friends..when women passes by they have this "urge" to scream out this phrase:) And now it has become like a way to say when you're salutating a very close friend...just to be nice to him/her.....

Answer 8

Like the others said, it means "Hello (or goodbye), Beautiful."

"Ciao" is an informal greeting meaning Hello or Goodbye.

"Bella" is a (feminine) adjective meaning nice or beautiful.  Bella can ONLY refer to one girl or feminine noun.  When used in this type of greeting take your pick at translating it into English--beautiful, sweetheart, etc.

If you are saying this to a guy, you have to change "bella" to "bello". (Hello/Goodbye handsome)

Answer 9

yes, either hello/goodbye beautiful

Answer 10

it's italian and bella is beautiful
