Hello and goodbye: greetings, sentence 0

In France a greeting is not a nice extra: you say bonjour to the baker, the bus driver and the doctor before anything else, and skipping it sounds rude.

Who acts: greeting, you, skipping · What happens: not be, say, skip, sound · To what, where: nice extra, France, bonjour, baker · Speech: someone speaks here
