"Saluer" verb and interjection

Has somebody noticed how ambiguous is that verb... ?

 

I mean, if you use it AS A VERB, it still bears the classical meaning of "honoring", in the past you could even accompany your introductive words with a little bow or "révérence"...

 

"Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâce..."

 

But if you use it as a commonplace interjection : "salut" is an absolutely casual expression you couldn't take the freedom to use in front of a teacher for example !

 

"Salut les gars, salut les amis..." etc

The verb "saluer" is also translated to English as "hail" (as in your example of "Hail Mary"). 

In English, I can't think of any use of the word "hail" outside a classical context (eg. Hail Caesar!)

That's right ; though it has become much more casual and unproper to formal situations.

 

Royal, why, my last name is happening to start with a V !
