Welcome to this English lesson on greetings.

Now, you might think this is a simple topic but it's not.

I wish sometimes that English only had the greetings

I think that would make things a lot easier for people

but there are a lot of different greetings in English

and I find as I continue to teach English online,

about how to answer things like what's up

or how's it going or how are you doing today?

So I thought I would take an in depth look.

I thought I would take a really good look

at all the different types of greetings in English

and try to explain them in a very logical way

you can use all of the greetings correctly.

Well, hey, welcome to this English lesson

please don't forget to click that red Subscribe button below

and give me a thumbs up if this video helps you learn

in a way that I think will make it a lot easier

I think first we should talk about the simple greetings.

So the simple greetings are greetings like hi

or hi there or hello or hello there or hello hello.

Sometimes we say hello hello twice in a row.

We say things like hey or hey there or hey hey

Yeah, that last one just sounded a little bit funny

and those are definitely our simple greetings.

We also say things like good morning, good afternoon

If you wanna sound like a cowboy, you can say howdy

and if you wanna sound hip and cool, you can say yo.

Now, the cool thing about the simple greetings

is the statement or the greeting is also the answer.

So if someone says hi to you, you can respond by saying hi.

If someone says howdy, you can say hello.

So the simple greeting also acts as a proper choice

So again, if someone says hello, you can say hi.

If someone says hi there, you can say hello hello.

So all of the simple greetings that you see there,

So I would say hi, hello, good morning, good afternoon,

good evening and sometimes we even say good day

When you start to say hi there or hello there

and the informal version of good morning is just morning.

So someone will just say morning, how's it going?

We'll make things more complex in just a moment.

The informal version of good afternoon is just afternoon

and the informal version of good evening is just evening.

So those are all of your simple greetings.

Divide it up into somewhat informal and somewhat formal.

and howdy would just be something you say for fun.

So there you go, those are all your simple greetings

We're not at that part of the lesson yet though.

So notice I can't help but add a question

and we'll talk about that in just a moment

but those are all of your simple greetings.
