1. GREETING

Greeting

Greeting is an act of communication for the people that we already know or when we just meet a new person. Greeting can be express by our sentences (direct)  while smiling,shaking hand,etc. Greetings are often, but not always, used just prior to a conversation.

For example :
Axel : Hi,Tommy. Good morning.
Tommy :  Hello Axel, good morning.

Greeting Someone	Responding
Hi,Icha	Hello,Adela
Good morning,Sir	Good morning too
How are you / How’s life ?	I’m well / I’m fine
Nice to meet you	Nice to meet you too
Glad to know you	Glad to know you too
How do you do ?	Fine

In this case, greeting is divided into: everyday greetings, special greetings, shaking hand greetings, naturally speaking(like the example above), and formal/informal greetings.

Everyday greetings :		Good Morning!
		Good Afternoon!
		Good Evening !
		Good bye,guys !
	+		"Good night."
	+		"Good night."

 Special Greetings :


Happy Christmas :)


Happy Easter !




Happy Idul Fitri/Adha Mubarak :) !


Good Luck !




Shaking Hand Greetings :


When meeting someone formally for the first time, we shake their hand and say "How do you do?" or "Pleased to meet you."
"How do you do?" isn't really a question, it just means "Hello".

When young people meet informally they sometimes say "Give me five!" and slap their hands together (high five). Generally we do not shake hands with people we know well.

Formal Greetings:

Hello.
Hello.
Hello, how are you?
Hello, I’m fine. What about you?
Hello, how are you today?
Hello, I’m fine. And you?
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
How do you do?
How do you do?

Good morning.
Good morning Sir.
Good morning Madam.
Good afternoon.
Good evening.

Informal Greetings :

 Hi, how are you?
How’s life?
How’s your day?
Are you fine?
I’m fine.
I’m okay.
