How do people greet in Belgium?

Answer 1

i think that they do it exactly how every one else does !!!!!!!! Edit: I actually just met two boys from Belgium...and they greet with 3 air kisses on the cheeks...hopefully that is helpful I am from Belgium and we do give 3 air kisses on the cheeks. But men mostly shake hands and people we know very well, we give one air kiss on the cheek

Answer 2

Belgium is trilingual.

If you're in the northern part, Flanders, you speak Dutch, so you say: 'hallo.'

If you're in the southern part, Wallonia, you speak French, so you say: `bonjour.`

If you're in the small German speaking part (southeast) , you say: `gutentag.`

If you're in Brussels which is officially bilingual you can speak Dutch or French (but most people only speak French). Belgium has two languages, depending on the region. They speak French and Flemish, so you would say either Bonjour (French) or Dag (Flemish)

Answer 3

In the Netherlands it is normal to shake hands when meeting people. When more aquinted or for congratulations three kisses can be given on the cheek: left - right - left / right - left - right.
