How many times have you said "Hello!" to people, this week alone. In English we have hundreds of different of greetings, the same is true in Spanish. The most common greetings are hello and goodbye in English and in Spanish those are the two most used greetings (hola and adios). Just like in English greetings often mention a time of day. When we wake, we often hear, "good morning". The same is true in Spanish, the time of day is frequently referenced in the phrase. We also need to learn the circumstances surrounding our greetings. We want to use different greetings based on whether it is formal or informal situation.
