Cultural Tip
In Italy, asking about evening plans is a common ice‑breaker. The word *programma* can refer to anything from a movie, a concert, a dinner, to a simple meetup. When speaking with someone you don’t know well, keep the tone light and avoid overly formal constructions; *Hai qualche…* is perfectly polite yet casual. In the north, you might also hear *cosa hai in programma per stasera?* which carries the same meaning.
