Your answer was the same
You raised 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...

Just go to hell.
Greetings in English are very simple theme when taught in school, but is quite tricky when it comes to communicating with foreigners, especially abroad, where you often have to say hello to strangers.
Many people have doubts about how to correctly answer questions inseparable from greetings like “How are you?”, “How are you doing?”, “What’s up?” It turns out that, for example, Americans, when asked “How are you doing?” They can briefly say how they are doing (“Good!”), or they can answer with the same question. So what is the right way?
Greetings in English and questions like “How are you?”
Either way is correct, depending on the situation.
Greetings in English usually consist of two parts:
- The greeting itself, for example: Hello.
- A question like “How are you?”, for example: How are you?
In most cases, a question like “How are you?” - this is just a polite formula; you are expected to give a formal answer, not a detailed one. Although it all depends on the context. If you say hello to a colleague who passes by with a stack of papers and a puzzled expression on his face, then he is definitely not expecting news from you, but if in a relaxed atmosphere with a friend whom you have not seen for a couple of months, then you can chat.
In addition, it often happens that the question “How are you?” - this is not at all not a question, but a greeting, and in response you just need to say hello. This is the case when the phrase “How are doing” is answered with “How are you doing” (in this case, the phrase usually sounds like a statement, not a question).
Here are the greeting options.
- Hello– neutral “hello” or “hello”. Appropriate in any situation, you can say hello to a friend, boss, doctor, president. Also “hello” is “hello” in .
- Hi– a more friendly option, “hello.” This way you can say hello to friends, relatives, and strangers, but it is not suitable for a strict official setting.
- Hey- a completely informal “hello”, something like our “great!” Please note that hey can be either an attention-getting shout or a greeting.
-
Greetings associated with the time of day. A neutral way of greeting, this can be said to a colleague, a friend, and in an official setting.
- Good morning- Good morning.
- Good afternoon- Good afternoon.
- Good evening- Good evening.
- note that Good night- This is not a night greeting, but a good night wish.
Now let’s take the “Hi” greeting and add the “How are you?” part.
Hi! How are you? - "How are you?"
A universal question that is suitable for any setting, formal or informal. When answering this question, it is customary to add “thank you” or “thanks” (this is not always done) before or after the answer and then also ask how the interlocutor is doing:
- Very well, thank you. How are you? - Very formal way answer this question.
- I'm fine, thank you! How are you?
- Not bad, and you?
- Good! Thanks! And you? (the answer “good” here is not entirely grammatically correct, but that’s what they say).
- Thanks, I'm ok. And you?
- Great! Thanks! How are you?
Hi! How is it going? / How are you doing? - “How are you doing?”, “How are you?”
When answering this question, you don’t need to focus on the fact that it contains a verb in , and try to answer with a verb in this form as well. You can answer in the same way as the question “How are you?”:
- Thanks, good. And you?
- Fine, how are you?
- etc.
Hi! What's up? - “What's new?”
A very popular greeting option, especially among young people. How to respond to “What’s up?” If this is a question, you can do this:
- Nothing much.
- Not too much.
- Nothing new.
- Nothing.
- Same old.
- Same old, same old.
All this means about the same thing: nothing special.
But in most cases, “What’s up?” - This is not a question that needs to be answered, but simply a greeting.
When you don't need to say how you are doing
All of the above questions can be used not as questions to be answered, but simply as greetings. This is especially true for “What’s up”. In most cases, when you are told “Hey, what’s up?” - this is not a question, but simply a greeting, as if you were simply told “Hey” or “Hi”.
The dialogue might look like this:
Colleagues walk past each other in the corridor, both are in a hurry.
- Hey, what's up.
– What’s up / Hi / How are you doing.
And they ran away.
Another option.
You entered the store. The seller, pushing a cart with goods in front of him, waved his hand and, smiling, said hello:
– Hi, how are you doing,– and drove on, without waiting for an answer.
– How are you doing,- you answered and went about your business.
Here's how to distinguish a question from a greeting:
- The man who said hello was walking somewhere past, said hello just for the sake of decency and moved on without waiting for an answer.
- They shouted at you an unintelligible “ How do you doin”, waving his hand in greeting.
- Intonation as in affirmative sentence, not interrogative. In the examples, I deliberately did not put question marks at the end of the sentences.
Every day we communicate with people. These are the most diverse people- relatives, friends, acquaintances, work colleagues and just random people. And the first thing we usually say to a person whom we see for the first time today is: greetings. English people (or other English-speaking people) also greet each other. Today we will look at how you can say hello in English, how you can greet each other. Well, at the end of the day, people say goodbye. We will also touch on this issue.
There are quite a few greeting options in English. Their use depends on who you want to greet and the circumstances under which the meeting takes place.
These are the two most popular greetings in English. They both mean " Hello!". It is worth understanding that this greeting option is suitable if the person is well known to you or he is your friend. Then you can safely greet him or " Hi", or " Hello!"
In addition to these two most popular greeting options, when meeting people you know well, you can also greet with the following phrases:
Hey man But this greeting is only suitable for males.
How's it hangin? Notice at the end " hangin"There is no letter "g". The phrase can be translated quite simply: How are you?
What's up? Also translated: How are you?
How are you doing?
How do you do
These greetings are also translated: How are you?
If you want to greet someone you don't know or want to say hello politely (for example, to someone older than you or to a work colleague who is higher in position than you), then there are also several greeting options here.
How are you?
The most popular and common greeting option. Literally translated: “How are you?”, “How are you?”. Usually this phrase is translated into Russian as " Hello!".
However, there is always an option to say hello to the person depending on the time of day.
Good morning
Good morning. But you can greet with this phrase strictly until 12 o’clock.
Good afternoon. There are no strict time limits here. Therefore, until what time you can greet a person with this phrase, everyone decides for himself. It is quite reasonable to use before 5-6 pm.
We would like to draw attention to possible options greeting replies. This may be a little confusing for some. If you are asked " How are you?", that is, they will greet you, there is no need to tell you how you are doing and what you are doing. You need to remember that when meeting, this phrase only means a greeting, that is, in Russian speaking " Hello!"Therefore you need to answer: " Fine. All right", which literally translates as " Fine. All right", but in a specific case it will be designated as an option to respond to a greeting. At some official meetings and events, it is best to answer: " I"m fine. I"m well"You can answer a friend or acquaintance: " I'm good"
For farewell in English there are also several different words and phrases. An official farewell in English sounds like this: Good bye or bye. What is translated as " Goodbye". For saying goodbye to people you know well, friends and acquaintances, there are several other options.
See ya - See you later
So long - Bye
See you anon - See you soon
See you again - See you again
Nowadays it is popular to say goodbye with the phrase "bye-bye", which means " bye bye".
A greeting is what begins every dialogue with any person, regardless of whether you communicate in Russian, English or any other language. Therefore, for beginners who love the English language, it is especially important to know what greetings are customary to use when communicating with certain people. This will help initially set the framework and tone for further conversation. How to lead welcome dialogues in English
Dependence of dialogue on the situation
Further, the dialogue should develop depending on the situation. There can be many variations of the continuation of the conversation: these will be the so-called middle parts of the dialogues. Therefore, we will first present several possible wordings of farewell in English − saying goodbye:
- Good-bye! - All the best! (Goodbye!)
- Bye-Bye! or simply Bye! — Bye!
- So long! — Bye! (See you!)
- See you later. — See you later. (I'll meet you later)

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. A similar translation is also English greeting“Hello” [hello] - “Hello”, “Hello”. What is their difference?
"Hi" is more suitable for informal communication, and the second option, “Hello,” is considered more official. Therefore, it is recommended to greet complete strangers using the second method. But in practice, most likely, you will encounter the following: strangers greet each other and you with “Hi”, complemented by 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 in this case additional meaning.
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 treat the person with respect or he is a stranger to you, and native language you would say: “I’m glad to see you!”, then in English it would still be “I’m glad to see you.”
Also, if you would like to say the usual “Hello” to English person 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.”
