Greeting is used when meeting or passing someone. In general, greeting is divided into formal greeting and informal greeting. Formal greeting is used in formal or official situations, usually used to greet people who are not familiar to you (you don’t have close relationship with them). While informal greetings are usually used to greet people you already know in casual and informal situations.
