英語中最正式的問候語是“How do you do?”,由於它太過正式、呆板,現今已經比較少被使用(尤其是在年輕族群間)。一般來說,若問候他人“How do you do?” 時,通常會伴隨著禮貌性的握手,而對方的回答也是 “How do you do?”。這句問候語較常出現在洽公或是談生意的場合,兩人握手問候彼此後,便進入正題討論公事。若是很熟的朋友,特別是年輕族群,其非正式的問候語通常就是簡單的“Hi!” (其回應也是“Hi!”即可),再接著問對方“How are things?”、 “How’s it going?”或是 “What’s up?”,而回答可用 “OK, I guess.”、“Not so bad.” 或是“Same as always.”。

agree.
