Greetings
Greetings is the salutation used to welcome or greet a person. Greetings are an
essential part of human communication and can vary greatly depending on who
we are talking to and even according to the time of the day. The greeting and reply
to a greeting at work is different from the greeting and reply given to a friend.
Similarly, there are many ways to say goodbye when you depart.
Types of Greetings
Greetings serve to show people that you are happy to meet or see them and can
be used in both formal and informal ways.
• Formal greetings are used with courtesy, and respect to communicate with someone meeting for the first time.

schools, colleges and offices. Formal greetings often involve a verbal acknowledgment and sometimes a
handshake, with appropriate facial expression, gestures, body language, and eye contact.
