23. Cultural tip
Greetings depend upon the relationship one person has with another or upon a person’s position. For example, you would greet a professor on campus as Professor Jones. Mrs. Davenport, who is older, and a retired English teacher, would be greeted as Mrs. Davenport. Among friends it would be “Hi, Jim.” An informal type of person like George might expect something like “Yo GD” which means “Hi, George Donovan.” The kind of greeting is used basically among friends of the same level. But it would be wise for you to leave that kind of expression until later when you get to know the culture and individuals better. The safe way is to stick with “Hi” or “Hello”, but understand you may be greeted with different greetings that you did not learn from a textbook.
Of course these different greetings break all the rules you have learned. But that’s what practical, everyday language does. We do it in Chinese, and Americans do it in English. It’s in this rule-breaking way of talking that real communication takes place.
