Bonjour Ca Va Hello How Are You

Say Bonjour! French Greetings and Beyond

"Bonjour, ça va?" ("Hello, how are you?")

When it comes to French greetings, "bonjour" is the most common and versatile. It can be used in both formal and informal settings, and can mean either "good morning" or "hello." When greeting someone in French, it is customary to make eye contact and smile. You can also use a handshake or a light kiss on both cheeks (known as a "bise") as a greeting.

Beyond "Bonjour"

While "bonjour" is the most common French greeting, there are many other ways to say hello in French. Here are a few examples:

• "Salut" (informal, used among friends and family)
• "Ça va?" (informal, means "how are you?")
• "Comment ça va?" (more formal, also means "how are you?")
• "Enchanté(e)" (formal, means "pleased to meet you")
