Beginning French Sixth Edition Ch. 1 Flashcards
In the French-speaking world, different greetings reflect the differing degrees of familiarity between people. Formality is the general rule; informal expressions are reserved for family, friends of long standing, and close associates and peers (for example, fellow students). All formal greetings are followed by a title: Bonjour; madame.
