If you know the person or are being introduced, you're also expected to either faire la bise (kiss cheeks) if you are familiar with that person or se serrer la main (shake hands). When arriving at work or school, this means you should go around the room and individually greet each person.

Formal greetings are for older people or people that you respect. Informal greetings are for friends, classmates, colleagues, etc.

Bonjour-hello (formal)

Salut-hi (informal)

Bonsoir-good evening (formal)

Pleased to meet you!-Enchante

Comment allez-vous?-How are you? (formal)

Comment ca-va?- How's it going? (informal)

tres bien-very well

bien-well

comme ci comme ca- okay

mal- badly

tres mal- very badly

merci- thank you

et vous?- and you? (formal)

et toi?- and you? (informal)

Comment vous appelez-vous?- What is your name? (formal)

Comment t'appelles tu?- What is your name (informal)

Je m'appelle... - My name is...

Madame- Mrs.

Madamoiselle- Miss

Monsieur- Mr.
