☆Class #5 Greetings☆

a) How do you greet members of your family?
I sometimes say ''good morning'' and ''good night'' to my family.

b) Are the customs the same all over your country?
I think every country has same customs, but there are many different way of greetings.

I never hug and kiss people in salute.

c) How do you greet people who are important in society?
I always smile when I meet people, and bow to people. I think that smile is very important.

d) Do people greet people of the opposite sex in a different way?
Maybe, same, but I think woman's greetings are more polite than man

e) How do people greet someone they've just met?
I think most people make the usual greetings when they meet people.

For example, "Good morning.'' , 'Hello.'' and "Good evening." they say.

f) Do you hug members of your family?
Never! In Japan, It's not the custom to hug and kiss, so I feel uncomfortable.
