Greeting
Greeting is an expression which is used to address someone or other people.
A greeting can consist of an exchange of formal expression, a simple kiss, a hand shake or a hug. The form of greeting is determined by social etiquette, as well as by the relationship of the people.
A verbal acknowledgement and sometimes a hand shake, facial expression, gestures, body language and eye contact can all signal what type of greeting is expected.
