GREETINGS

In this chapter we will learn to greet others. Depending on the time it will learn to say "good days", "good afternoon" or "good night". Similarly we will learn to say goodbye to a person already present when a person does not know it. Alongside each expression you'll find the pronunciation.

For greetings, we usally have two informal forms:
1- Hello o Hi (jelou o jai), cuando queremos decir Hola
2- How are you (jau ar iu), significa como estás

For greeting people based on the hour, exist three basic forms:
1- Good Morning (gud mornin): Buenos Días
2- Good Afternoon (gud afternun): Buenas Tardes
3- Good Evening (gud ifnin): Buenas Noches

To say goodbye usually we use ths forms:
1-Good Bye (gud bai): Adios
2- See you later (si yu leirer): Nos vemos luego
3- See you soon (si yu sun): Nos vemos pronto
4- Have a nice day (jav a nais dei): Que tengas un buen dia
5- Have a great time (jav a greit taim): Que te vaya bien

If we do not know a person, these are expressions that are used when we are going to meet that person:

1- What's your name (uats yur neim): Cual es tu nombre o como te llamas
2- My name is Terry (mai neim is terri): Mi nombre es Terry o me llamo Terry
3- This is my teacher, Sam (dis is mai ticher, sam): Este es mi profesor, Sam
4- Nice to meet you (nais tu mit iu): Un placer conocerte (conocerlo)
