Hello everyone, I’m a student in Taiwan. The way of greeting in Taiwan is just say hello. Sometimes I think its kind of monotone, so I want to know other ways of greeting in foreign country. could you gives me some examples in your country ? I’ll give my best appreciates. Thanks!

my country is saudi arabia so I am going to tell you abuot our way of greeting…..

we say for agroup of peaple …...(peace on you)

but when we greet somone  individually , we say peace on you and we shake him with  his right hand and sometimes kiss his cheeks…....

Hi Broyo, How are you?

I'm chilean, in my country there are very way for to greet.

"Hi", "what about?", "how are you?". more over a handshake among men or a kiss on the cheek with girls, a hug with someone they deem much.

Sometimes, just enough lifting his head slightly.

 I remenber, when I was a child… said "hoo" lifting his hand and head.

When we bid  farewell said "Take Care" with a big hug.

But I belive that a traditional greeting in Chile is a handshake.

Take Care!!

I am a chinese,our way of greeting others is just the same as you.we always say "hello".

but i'd like to tell,among our students,we prefer to give others a big smile instead of to say some greeting-words.

and evenmore。。when it comes to someone you are familiar with 。。a eye contact will do all。。。

Hello, Broyo.

And then He\she or they reply to me (Wa Alikum Al Salaam).

Also when I greet anybody individually, I say peace on you (Al Salaam Alikum)

I shake him with his right hand and sometimes I kiss his cheeks…

hi all.in my country-Türkiye-when we meet with a friend,firstly we smile friendly.then shake with her hand and kiss in her cheeks.we always say 'hi,how are u?'.she answer and ask,too. finally we say each other 'take care,see you'

 In AZERBAIJAN, the way of greeting  is "SALAM".

 And if you great someone in the morning, you say "SABAHIN XEYİR". It means "Good morning". And  "AXŞAMIN XEYİR"  means "Good evening".
