A greeting is a way of saying "Hello"to someone.In western countries like the UK and the USA,people often shake hands when they meet for the first time,especially in a formal situation. But there are other ways of greeting people.For instance,male friends sometimes have special handshakes to show that they are close to each other.
In France and Italy,people love to kiss.They often kiss their friends and family on both cheeks when they meet and when they say goodbye.
In India,when people say hello,they press their palms(手掌)together under their chin.To show respect,a slight bow is added.Today people who study yoga often put their palms together at the beginning or end of a yoga lesson.
And what do you think of people rubbing(蹭)noses together?This special greeting is common among the Maori who live in New Zealand in the southern hemisphere,and also among the Inuits
who live in the far north.
In Japan,for instance,men and women bow when they greet someone.The women hold their hands together and the men put their hands by their sides.
If you visit a foreign country,it's important to find out the correct form of greeting.That way you won't make mistakes there.
It's to be your best friend.
