Types of greetings
Even though greetings can be used for everyone, greetings also need to be considered based
on the person being addressed. Because, if the greeting seems too relaxed to people who are
not too close it will reflect an attitude that lacks courtesy, whereas vice versa if the greeting
seems too standard then it will reflect a rigid attitude. Therefore, greetings are generally
divided into two types, formal greetings, and informal greetings.
