greeting exchanges

In English, if people greet in question, they also do notexpect an exact answer. However, the answer is often

positive, although it is not the real situation:

-How are you going? Not bad

Only those who are really close to each other give the truthanswer:- Whats up? Terrible!


38/41

CONCLUSION

Greetings in English are more standard interms of formula than those in Vietnamese.

TheAnglicists seem to use more open-endedquestions (Whquestions) as greetingexchanges. The questions mostly concern withhealth or general questions, not requiring into

detailed problems.


39/41

CONCLUSION

Differently, Vietnamese greeting exchanges are in theform of both open-ended and close-ended questions(Yes-No questions), work-in-progress questions,concerning with what other people are doing, are themost popular (want to announce their presence or toshow their concern).

=>The greeting exchanges in English and Vietnamese are

strikingly different. This is understandable due todifferent values in cultures.
