Greeting and Responding People:
Greeting refers to welcoming someone with certain words/phrases or a specific action. When we meet someone for the first time we greet by shaking hands and saying "How do you do?" or "Pleased to meet you." or "Nice to meet you" or "Nice to see you" or "Nice to have you on the phone" (through phone)
Generally, with people we know well, We greet by just saying 'hi' or 'hello'
