Greetings in english

Informal/Formal

GREETINGS

Informal Greetings Let’s begin by exploring some of the most common informal greetings in English. These can be used amongst friends or family, or even in an informal setting. 1. Hi! Simple and straightforward, “hi” is often used as a quick greeting in English amongst friends, coworkers, and even family. 2. Hey, Heya or Hey there! This is another one of the best greetings to use amongst friends or acquaintances. 3. Morning! *Night! / Nite! A more casual way of saying “Good morning.” 4. How are things? This is one of the more casual greeting phrases used in an exchange.

5. What’s new? Similar to “how are things?”, “what’s new?” is simply a way of saying hello to someone you haven’t talked to in a while. 6. It’s good to see you As you may have assumed, this one is used when you haven’t seen someone in a while. 7. G’day! This is short for “Good day,” typically used in Australia. 8. Howdy! No list of English greetings vocabulary is complete without some unique variations. This is one that’s commonly used in the southern regions of the United States. 9. What’s up? This can also be shortened to “‘Sup?”

10. How’s it going? This is one of those types of greetings that doesn’t always need to be taken literally. 11. What’s happening? Although a question, this type of greeting can be used in place of “hello!” 12. What’s the story? This one is popular in Ireland. 13. Yo! Another one of the simplest greetings words you can use. 14. How are you doing?/ How you doing? Asks for a more detailed answer. This is a more casual form of greeting that can also mean "How's it going?". Response I'm doing good. **Although some of these greetings look like questions, no answers are expected or a standard “good, thank you” or “nothing much” will suffice. These greetings are typically used amongst friends or in more casual situations.

Formal Greetings Now that you’ve learned how to greet someone informally, let’s check out some of the most common formal greetings in English. 15. Hello! In formal greetings examples, hello is preferred to “hi” or “hey.” 16. Hi there This is a slightly less formal way to say hello, but still more appropriate than using “hey.” 17. Good morning You can never go wrong when using “good morning” in greeting sentences. 18. Good afternoon If greeting someone later in the day, this is a great option. 19. Good evening If greeting someone during the evening, use this option.

20. It’s nice to meet you Just don’t say this one to someone you’ve met three times before! 21. It’s a pleasure to meet you Remember, these last two only work when you are meeting someone for the first time. 22. How do you do? Is a formal greeting used in the same way as "It's a pleasure to meet you" or "Pleased to meet you."
