Hello. I raised my eyes
Hello...I hardly lied
When she said "Hello"
Your answer was the same
You raised your brown eyes and smiled
Lightly touched my hand
She pulled it back and blushed
I've been sick of you for so long
You are kind and already real to me
Although maybe a little immoral
You took my hand again
And he never released it again
You whispered to me that I was alone
And that you're glad that I'm yours
You kissed and hugged
You said that you had been waiting for me for a long time...
What happened next? didn’t affect...
It's because I...

Hello dear friends! What a lovely day, isn’t it? May we have your attention, please? Sounds kind, right? And all because the greeting, address and request are drawn up correctly.

Dear readers, today’s review article is devoted to everyday phrases that we practically do not pay attention to, they “bounce off the teeth.” But insisting on speech development, we present to you a small selection of popular expressions of greeting, address and request in English.

Greeting phrases in English

Do you remember the legendary phrase of Joey, the hero of the TV series “Friends”: “How do you doin’?” This is how he greeted the girls he liked. There are many forms of the Russian word “hello” in English. Formal and not so formal greetings in English for all occasions - read on!

Standard greeting words in English can be divided into categories:

“Greeting phrases for strangers”

Hello! - Hello!

Hi! - Hello!

Good morning/afternoon/evening! – Good morning/afternoon/evening!

​
​"Phrases for relatives and friends"

• Hey! - Hey, hi!
• Well hello! - Well, hello!
• Good to see you! - Glad to see you!

Just by saying hello, you are not showing proper politeness and interest. Remember additional expressions to the previous ones:

• How are you doing? - How are you doing?
• How is everything? - How are you? (How is everything? - verbatim)
• What's new?/What's good? – What's new?/What's good?
• What's up? - How are you?

These words do not carry any special meaning, but are considered quite polite. We can say that this is one big “hello” in English.

The following phrases will do as an answer:

• Fine, thanks! - OK, thank you!
• I'm very well! - Very good!
• I'm alright! - I'm fine!
• Not bad, thank you! - Not bad, thank you!
• The same as usual. - As always.
• So-so. - So-so.

The following greeting phrases in English are interesting and fully convey the surprise and joy of an unexpected meeting:

• Hello stranger! - Hello, stranger!
• Look who it is! - Look who it is!
• Oh my God, it’s you! - My God, it's you!
• Where have you been? – Where have you been?/Where have you been?
• Is it really you? – Is it really you?/Is it really you?

If you don’t have time to talk with a person, well, anything can happen, say one of these expressions and the interlocutor will understand everything:

• Sorry, I can't stop! - Sorry, I can’t stop!
• I’m a bit pushed for time! - I'm running out of time!
• Sorry, I'm on my way! - Sorry, I'm in a hurry!

And of course, you need to be able to say goodbye beautifully. Goodbye, bye-bye are boring, emotionless expressions. Use better words of farewell in English with some kind of wish. For example:

• Have a nice day/evening! – Have a nice day/evening!
• I hope to see you soon! – I hope to see you soon!
• Take care! - Take care of yourself!
• Good luck! - Good luck!
• All the best! - All the best!

Forms of address in English

We've sorted out the greetings. But how to competently, and most importantly politely, address a person? It is necessary to select the correct expressions for communicating with unfamiliar or complete strangers, to be able to use simple, but tactful phrases for friends and relatives. Surely you know that in English there is no difference between “you” and “you”, as well as the plural “you”. These pronouns are characterized by one word you. But it also needs to be consumed with the right additions. Let's replenish our knowledge with expressions of address in English.

How do you address the director in English: Mister? And to a friend: Hey dude! Buddy! Bro! Do you say sweetheart, baby, honey to your loved one? How not to get into trouble with all these simple words? Very simple!

First, remember official forms of address in English :

• Boys under 16 years of age are called by their full name with surname: Thomas James, Michael Collins;
• Young people over 16 years of age are addressed using the following design: Mr. (Mister) + first name + last name: Mr. Joe Black, Mr. Robert Hole;
• Sir (master) is used without a first and last name, serves as an address to a man who is older in age, rank, or position;
• Accordingly, women are addressed as Madam, also without a first and last name. But only men can say that: it’s not appropriate for girls to call other ladies that. Only if one is not an employee of the other. The second version of this address is Ma’am (ma’am);
• little girls and unmarried girls - this is Miss indicating the first and last name: Miss Lisa Smith, Miss Caroline Stone;
• similar to Miss – Mizz (Ms) + first name + last name – suitable for both unmarried and married girls. This is a new form of address for those whose status is unknown or those who prefer to hide it. Ideal for Ms Mystery;
• married girls are called Mrs + first name + last name. Be careful and remember to use your husband's last name: Mrs Carter. Only not used with the name Mrs!
• Missus (mistress), or abbreviated as Mrs + husband's surname, is a traditional form of addressing a married woman:Mrs Moore;
• if we are talking about a divorced or widowed woman, you need to use Ms + first name + maiden name: Ms Kate Taylor;
• unmarried couples introduce themselves as follows: Mr + first name + last name of the man and Miss + first name + maiden name: Mr James Butler & Miss Joan Mitchell;
• well, married couples are represented by the husband’s last name, that is, Mr & Mrs + husband’s first name + husband’s last name: Mr & Mrs John Parker.

Secondly, do not forget about more personal forms of address :

• a child or person younger than you can be called honey- not honey, of course, but sweet;
• you can use a humorous approach to friends old man- old man or pal– buddy, but it’s suitable for girls young lady- young lady (young lady - literally);
• cute and “sweet” expressions, for example, muffin, sugar, are allowed only when addressing very close people. Girls, give up “masiks”, “bunnies” and “pussies”. Call your young people beautifully: handsome- handsome, tiger- tiger, Mr Perfect– Mister Ideal;
• guys, please make your beauties happy by calling them angel– angel, Precious- Expensive, gorgeous- gorgeous.

Request forms in English

Requests in English vary. There are three main types:

1. A request to receive (transfer) something.
2. A request for some help or to do something.
3. A request, or rather permission, to perform an action independently.

​

Surprised? Indeed, requests in Russian and English differ significantly in design. Let’s look at how specifically using examples.

In order for a person to give you what you ask, you need to tell him about it politely. Use an established phrase can/could I have . Translation into Russian can be of several options. We still use the first one more often:

• Can I have a pen, please? - Give me a pen, please. / Can I please have a pen?
• Could I have these books, please? – Give me these books, please. / Can I please have these books?

If you were kind enough, you will hear Here you are in response and get what you want. Well, if not, you will hear a modest Sorry with an explanation of the reason for the refusal. After all, simply saying no is bad form.

When turning to a person with a request that you want him to fulfill for you, just say could you + 1 verb form :

• Could you turn off the air conditioner, please? – Could you turn off the air conditioner? / Please turn off the air conditioner.
• Could you lend me 100 dollars, please? – Could you lend me 100 dollars? / Please lend me 100 dollars.

Affirmative answers are yes, of course, sure. Negative – the same sorry with the reason for refusal.

If you intend to do something yourself, but you need permission, feel free to ask a question about the design can/could I + 1 verb form – without please :

• Can I use your computer? – Can I use your computer?
• Could I call you back tomorrow? – Can I call you back tomorrow?

Also, when asking in English, phrases are used would you mind / do you mind if I + 1 verb form (or –ing , if you ask someone to do something):

• Would you mind if I finish this report tomorrow? – Would you mind if I finish the report tomorrow?
• Do you mind if I take your cup? “Do you mind if I take your cup?”
• Would you mind waiting for me? - Could you wait for me?
• Do you mind closing the door? - Could you close the door? ​

That's all for today. More entertaining and useful information is available in our lessons.

There are many ways to say hello in English. Say “hello” to an acquaintance while running, strike up a conversation at a party, meet an old friend after a long separation, introduce yourself to a business partner. Each situation has its own nuances, and below we will look at them in more detail.

Universal greetings

These are phrases that can be used both in relation to acquaintances and to those whom you see for the first time.

Note that "Good day" in Britain is more often used as a farewell (quite formal) and is translated as "All the best." "Good night" means "Good night" and is also used when saying goodbye.

Greetings on the go

Saying hello to someone you know is a simple act of politeness. However, there is not always time to stop and talk. If you're in a hurry, you don't have to stop what you're doing, but don't forget to smile when you say hello. You can wave your hand at the same time. Sometimes you meet one person several times in a day. In this case, you can say hello again or just smile.

Friendly greetings

If you know the person well, you can tell him:

Teenagers and young people, as well as just close friends, often use slang among themselves.

• Howdy!
• Hiya!
• What's up?
• G"day (Australia)!

Greetings after a long separation

The British value personal space and do not like public displays of affection. However, close friends may well hug when they meet, especially if they haven’t seen each other for a long time. Men sometimes shake hands. In this case we can say:

Business greetings

It is important to observe etiquette at business meetings. Smile and remember to use polite words such as "please" and "thank you." Use appropriate addresses: for men - Mister; for women, Ms is increasingly used (read: ), regardless of marital status. (Mrs and Miss are still used if the woman introduced herself to you as such.)

The handshake is common in most English-speaking countries. When meeting, introduce yourself by your full name and name your position, for example: Hello, I'm William Jones, sales manager.

To continue the conversation, you can use the following phrases:

Party Cheers

At a reception or party, it is considered polite to say hello to many people. After you've said hello to your hosts and friends, introduce yourself to those you don't know. Introduce yourself and strike up a conversation. Mention how you know the owners. Discuss something related to the party (food, music, decoration). The following questions are helpful to keep the conversation going:

Greetings when visiting

If you are visiting a friend, say hello to other people in the house. Introduce yourself to people you don't know. Use the following phrases:

Now that you've become familiar with the basic greeting phrases in English, it's time to listen to them performed by true English ladies and gentlemen.

The simplest and shortest form of greeting, both in Russian and in English, is the word “hello”. “Hello” in English is “Hi”. It is most often used in conversation, especially with those people whom you already know or see more than once. The English greeting “Hello” has a similar translation – “Hello”, “Hello”. What is their difference?

“Hi” is more suitable for informal communication, and the second option, “Hello” is considered more formal. Therefore, it is recommended to greet complete strangers using the second method. But in practice, most likely, you will come across the fact that strangers greet each other and you with “Hi”, complementing it with a sincere and friendly smile. And that's completely normal.

How else can you say “hello” in English: “Hey” [hey] is a colloquial, informal option. Young people often say hello this way. Therefore, it is NOT recommended to use this word to greet an elderly person or a complete stranger to you.

What can I add?

Sometimes “there” [zea] is added to the above words, and then the greetings look like this: “Hi there!”, “Hello there!”, “Hey there!”. The essence of the greeting does not change from this addition, the translation into Russian remains the same, because the word “there” does not carry any additional meaning in this case.

How to say hello in English, besides the usual “hello”? You can add to this the question “how are you?” And then the greeting will sound like this: “Hi, how are you?” [hai, how a yu] - “Hello, how are you?” For informal communication, the following option is suitable: “What’s up?” [whatsapp] - “How are you?”

If you are glad to see your interlocutor, you can not hide it and add the phrase “I’m glad to see you!” [aim glad tu si yu] - “I’m glad to see you!” It is worth noting that in English the address “you” is applicable to a person of any age. There is no division, as in Russian, into “you” and “you”. Those. if you respect a person or he is a stranger to you, and in your native language you would say: “I’m glad to see you!”, then in English it will still be “I’m glad to see you.”

Also, if you would like to say the usual “Hello” in English to someone older than you, then “Hello” and “Hi” are also applicable in this case.

How to say hello to a group of people

How to say “Hello everyone!” in English if you are addressing several people at once? Both options below will work:
Hello, everyone! [hello, evryuan!]
Hello, everybody! [hello, eurybadi!]

You can also use one more phrase, it is usually used more often in writing (in chats, groups) than in spoken language:
Hi, everyone! [hi, ol!]

Other popular and accepted greeting phrases

A formal greeting in a letter in English will be different from a spoken one. If you need to write a request to technical support, for example, or ask a question to a consultant of an online store, then it is better to start it like this: “Dear Sir” (when addressing a man, “dear sir”) or “Dear Madam” (when addressing a woman, "Dear Madam") If you are writing a request to the support service, and do not know what gender you are contacting, you can write this: “Dear Support Team” (which means “dear support service”). Or you can write after “Dear” the name of the organization to which you are sending your letter.

Don't forget about greetings that depend on the time of day. Translated from Russian, “Good morning” in English will look like this: “Good morning” [good monin]. “Good afternoon” - “Good afternoon” [good aftenun]. “Good evening” - “Good evening” [good evening].

If you have just been introduced to a person and you are sincerely glad to meet him, then you can add: “Nice to meet you” [nice to meet you] - “” / “Nice to meet you.”
