GREET 挨拶する

To greet someone is to say hello or to welcome them with special words or actions.

The noun form is greeting.

Be Careful! We don't use the word greet like the Japanese word 挨拶 to mean “say goodbye.”
greet は、誰かに会ったり、誰かを歓迎したりする際に、特別な言葉を言ったり、動作をしたりする、つまり、挨拶をする、という意味です。

名詞形は greeting で、挨拶、という意味です。

注意：日本語と違い、別れの挨拶は、greeting には含まれません。
