3. Formal greetings are used
to greet people that one
needs to show great
respect to.
For example, one would
use formal greetings with
a stranger, a person in a
position of authority (i.e.
police officer, teacher), or
someone who is older
than the speaker.
4. Informal greetings are
used to greet people
that one does not need
to be as formal with.
For example, one would
use informal greetings
with a friend, a close
family
member, someone that
one has known for a
long time, etc.
