About Greeting
Today, I saw my neighbor when I was walking. Then I said "how are you" and he replied "I'm alright". What should I answer? Can I just pass by and continue walking?

After greeting my neighbor, what should I say when I want to leave? Can I say "bye"?

Answer

You can say: "That's good to hear."

When you are leaving, you can say: "See you later."

Answer

You can just keep walking. Unless he says "Good, and you?" Then just tell him you're good too and leave.
