Salutation (greeting)

A salutation is when you say hello to someone. It's a way to show that you are polite and friendly when you meet someone for the first time or when you see them again. Salutations can be spoken or written, like in a letter or email. The most common salutations are "hello," "hi," "good morning," "good afternoon," and "good evening." Some people might also say "hey" or "what's up" as a salutation, but these are less formal. Overall, a salutation is just a friendly way to greet someone and start a conversation.
