                 Informal greetings are greetings that are commonly used when interacting with someone

                 who has a closer relationship or has known for a long time, for example with the family of

                 the same age, close friends, partners, and so on. Same as in Indonesian. Informal greetings

                 are also greetings that can be used when we are in a more relaxed situation such as for

                 example meeting while on vacation, birthday parties, and so on.
