“Mi scusi” means “excuse me” in Italian, so it's formal. It can be used to express politeness, apologize to a stranger, and ask for directions. Its formal form is "scusa."
We use “scusi” to draw attention, for example if we want to stop someone to ask the way: Scusi, signore /signora, dov'è il municipio, per favore? - Excuse me, where is the town hall, please? We can also use “scusi or “mi scusi” to apologise. This is the polite form.
“Mi scusi” is pretty much like “excuse me”, so it's formal. We will use this one to ask for directions, apologise to a stranger, speak in formal contexts. “Scusa” is its informal version. We will use it with our friends, family and all those people we would normally address using “tu”.
The phrase can be translated as “permit to stay.” In everyday Italian, the most common usage of permesso is really simple. It's the “excuse me” for when you need to get past someone in a crowded place (but not the “excuse me” for attracting attention in a restaurant.
Arrabbiato means angry in Italian. It comes from rabbia (anger) and it can be used in all kinds of situations. A slang word for the same feeling is incavolato or the slightly more rude incazzato. If something 'makes you angry', use the construction “mi fa arrabbiare/incavolare/incazzare”.
Schifo is how you say 'disgust', which is exactly what you'll provoke in most Italians by drinking milky coffee after noon. It comes from an early Germanic word that meant 'to frighten' – the same that gave us the English word 'eschew'. In Italian it's most commonly used as an exclamation… Che schifo! How disgusting!

Allora (so, then, well) is one of those filler words that's highly useful when thinking of what to say in Italian. It buys you a little time and tells the listener you're thinking things over, especially when used by itself, or to introduce a sentence.
To say you're welcome in Italian
When someone says “thank you”, Italians reply with prego. That's how you say “you're” welcome in Italian.
We use "mi scusi" (formal) or "scusa" (informal) when we want to say that we are sorry about something that depended on us, that we have done, it's our fault.
The response to grazie that you're most likely to use or hear is prego (you're welcome), or you could say di niente (not at all). For greater emphasis you can use s'immagini or si figuri in the formal form, and figurati informally (don't mention it).
So if you want to say either “sorry” or “excuse me” in Italian, you can say “scusa”.
Grazie is thanks in Italian
The most popular and straightforward way to say thanks in Italian is a hearty grazie. This Italian word is a catch-all that covers both formal and informal situations with just about any audience.
You say grazie when someone is offering you something that you want to accept, but you also use it if you want to refuse. Unlike English, there is no difference such as Yes, please/ No thanks in Italian. Italians say grazie in any case, both if they want to accept or to refuse.
