Introduction

Hello and welcome.
Today we are reviewing greetings in French.

Shall we begin? Let's go!

Greeting in French

Here are the phrases you can use to greet someone in French:

• Good morning : in the morning and during the day.
• Good evening : from early evening.
• Hi : more familiar, to be used with close people or in a relaxed context.
• Cuckoo : very familiar, to be reserved for your loved ones.

To remain polite, we recommend using Good morning Or Good evening, always with a smile and, if possible, adding a kind word.

Ask for news

In a context formal or professional, you can say:

• How are you ?

And answer: I'm fine, thank you. And you?

In a frame more informal, you can say:

• How are you ?

And answer: I'm fine, thank you. And you?

Remember: say THANKS always makes the exchange more pleasant.

Take leave

To say goodbye politely:

• Bye
• See you soon, see you tomorrow, Or see you later
• Good day, Have a good evening Or have a good weekend

You can add a THANKS or a nice little word at the end, depending on the situation.

Practical advice

A good greeting is a combination of several things:

• a suitable word,
• a respectful tone,
• a sincere smile,
• and of course, THANKS Or Please, depending on the context.

For example :

• Hello Madam, how are you?
• Very well, thank you. And you?
