Pronunciation of 'saluta'
Make sure the 'u' is clear, not a swallowed sound, and the stress is on the second syllable.
A small cultural note
Family is central in Italian culture, so sending regards to them is always a thoughtful gesture. It's common to ask about parents, siblings, and even grandparents.
