Hi everyone
I have so many questions today! The first one is about saying Hello:
1) What are usages of "Hi there" and "Hey there"? What's the difference between them?
2) Is "Hi/Hey there" using when someone see sb else in for example street for the first time?
3) Is "Hey guys" using in the video clips only?I mean When someone wants to record a movie?
The second one is about greeting:
I know we have many sentences for greeting.Formal and Informal.
So could you tell me some other ones except below:
1)How are you? 2)How are you doing? 3)How is it going? 4)How is everything?
The third one is about:"How are you feeling?"
I can't remember exactly this sentence but it was something like that! What does it mean?
please answer my questions.
Thanks
1 - 'Hi there' and 'hey there' mean exactly the same thing.
2 - Both these expressions are very informal and very common. They can be used when greeting a complete stranger or an old friend.
3 - The reason you see people using 'hey guys' when recording a video is because they're addressing an audience. 'Guys' is a plural. You could use this in real life if, for instance, you were greeting a group of your friends.
4 - There are many ways of greeting someone in English. You have probably already meantioned the most common. Beyond that, it really depends on where in the English speaking world you are. For instance, in the UK, one of the most common greetings is to simply say "alright?" - short for 'are you alright?". In Australia they say 'g'day' - short for 'good day'. Apparently.
5 - You mentioned 'how are you?" as a greeting. 'How are you feeling?" is simply the longer form of this. However, take care using 'How are you feeling?' as a greeting because it implies concern - for instance if the person you were talking to was - or had been - ill.
