The Greetings are the first conversation between two people. Los saludos son la primera conversación entre dos personas: We have two ways of making salutations: Formal and Informal. Tenemos dos formas de hacer saludos: Formal e Informal. The formal way is used when you meet new people, talk with the oldest person, or converse politely. Here, we have an example of Greeting: Good morning Mr. Rodriguez. (in Spanish you say) Buenos días, señor. Rodriguez. You start the conversation with: Buenos días (at the morning), Buenas tardes (in the Afternoon) and Buenas noches (at the evening or night) After that, you need to put the profession or etiquette to show respect to men and women (Mister = señor, Mistress = Señora, and Miss = señorita) (don’t forget to add the surname or First name) like this example: Señor. Rodriguez or Profesor. Rodriguez The second part of the conversation is making information about the person, situation or what do you want to know? For example: ¿Cómo te sientes hoy?: How do you feel today? ¿Qué tal? = How are you? ¿Cómo estás? =How are you? ¿Qué estás haciendo? = What are you doing? ¿Como esta el trabajo? How is work? ¿Cómo va todo? = How is everything? You can include more dialog to keep going the conversation. And, the third part is the farewell or despedida. For example: Adiós = bye Hasta luego = See you later Nos vemos pronto = See you soon Hasta la vista = See you around Chao = bye Te veo luego = See you later Que te vaya bien = Good luck The informal way is used when you know well the people for example a friend, partner, brother or coworker. Epale! = Hey ¿Que mas? = What´s up? ¿Qué tal? = How are you? ¿Qué hay de Nuevo? = What´s new? Hola, ¿Cómo va todo? = Hi, How is everything? This part of the dialog can be more flexible according to the country, age, and social group.
