💡
Cultural Note
Altrettanto is the perfect response to any well-wish: buon appetito, buona giornata, buon viaggio, buone vacanze. Learning this single word allows you to gracefully return any Italian pleasantry. It's more natural than 'anche a te' (to you too), though both are correct. Italians use it constantly in daily interactions.
