Quando è l'ultimo giorno per i resi?

What is the last day for returns?

Pronunciation

'Resi' — RE-zi, the plural of 'reso' (return). Short 'e', soft 'z'.

When to use it

Ask this at the till when buying something you are unsure about, or when you already have an item and want to know how much time you have left. It shows you know your rights.

What it means

'Resi' is the plural of 'reso', the noun form of 'rendere' (to return). 'Ultimo giorno' means last day. The word order 'quando è' (when is) starts a direct question in Italian — no inversion needed unlike in English.

More casual word order.

Formal — asks for the full policy.

Italian law sets a minimum 14-day return window for online purchases (EU directive), but for in-store purchases there is no legal requirement to accept returns at all — it is at the shop's discretion.
