Piacere : to like. A me piace spesso mangiare un’insalata. I often like to eat a salad. I like : a me piace.

A whore : una donna di piacere, una prostituta ( a prostitute ).

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

Take pleasure in doing something = provare piacere nel fare qualcosa.

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

How do you say "have fun" in French?

In fact the noun piacere is translated into ‘pleasure’. Life’s pleasures : I piaceri della vita.
