What are some examples of the use of the word “piacere” in Italian? What do they mean and how would you translate them into English?

A. Thank you very much. B. It's a pleasure ( = don't mention it ). In Italian you translate ‘ It's a pleasure’ in : prego ( or ‘ non c'è di ché ‘ ).

I’m pleased to meet you. Piacere di/è un piacere (= I’m pleased ) conoscerla.

A brothel : una casa di piacere ( even though it's more common the expression ‘ casa di tolleranza ‘ ).
