Meet and Greet!

We greet people whenever we meet them. It is our way of acknowledging someone’s presence. It would be rude if we just looked at someone and said nothing! We should know what to say to someone in the right kind of situations.

Now as you all know, there are a few standard every day greetings. Those are:‘Good morning/afternoon/evening/night.’

But those are not the only greetings. As we all know there are greetings for special occasions as well.

What would you tell someone if you met them on Diwali? You’d wish them a, ‘Happy Diwali!’. Similarly, if you met someone on Christmas, you’d say, ‘Merry Christmas!’ These are known as special greetings.

In the category of special greetings comes: wishing someone luck before a task or wishing them a speedy recovery from an illness or congratulating them on a job well desk.
