form of greeting in your countries

[Motörhead Remember Me]

Two black men meet in USA:
-Yo, mothafucka!
-Good morning, reverend!

[Heretik]

True story!

[Blossom]

Well, gold_fenix explained how things are done in Spain, but I dont act like so since my parents gave me a different education back in time during my childhood.

Formal: I shake hands, both man or woman.

Informal: I dont kiss/embrace, I just say ''hi'' and ''how's everything going?'' and yes..they called me ''cold and weird girl'' in here many times and I remember when I met my girl-friends how they tend to kiss/hug me but I'm like ''nono...'' but they're used to it now. But yes, spanish are maybe too sticky and tbh, I dont like kissing some stranger (cheeks). Its common here, when you go to a party and they introduce you to a guy/girl, you give her/him 2 kisses as gold_fenix said (girls do that, guys shake hands or embrace). But I'm not into that at all...I just stop, say ''nice to meet you'' and that's all. Its pretty funny how they react...they usually think I'm a cold, mean person..but well.

Family: I hug...prefer hugging than kissing.

but I wouldnt mind kiss DD's fking sweet cheeks and hug and kiss and hug and kiss him till he'll get no air

Anyway, you're - nor the others who might kiss you - not supposed to put your lips on the other person's skin, you're supposed to touch the other person's cheek with yours and make a kissing sound (lol). Some people just use one kiss instead of the traditional two. This usually happens between family and close friends or friends of friends which are introduced (men do that "manly embrace" thing which I'm not fond of - classical hand shake is my form of greeting).

[Peerkons]

In almost all cases you shake hands. Between women-men, women-women you just say "Hi''.
If you know the person very good you embrace.
Only lovers kiss each other on the cheek.

In a way I kinda wish they had that whole "kiss when you meet" thing in Finland. I like it. But I could also imagine getting bored from doing it absolutely all the time. Maybe it´s just good in smaller doses, like when you´re visiting some country for just a short period where it´s typical.

however there´s somebody I simply couldn´t keep my hands off at all. I´d kiss her anywhere at any time and never let go.

Oh trust me it is boring!!! Its simply annoying meet 8 guys/girls and start kissing each of them...

I'd kiss that special one anytime he'd let me do it...and never get rid of it! Cuz he's a sweetie pie!

[Rouxinol]

That's it, people love to kiss from France downwards. But... 8 in a row is too much indeed, I agree. When family gatherings I find it always annoying to have to kiss the uncle, the aunt, the cousins, the sister-in-law and so forth.

In Spain between women or woman-man are two kisses each side of the face, the first kiss is in the left side of the person kissed, between men we shake hands
the exeptions with the kiss are in very formal situation or interwiev of work and between the family inside of a family reunion there are the kiss between between men but not always, depend of the person

This, but also verbally:

In my region, in times of old one would say „Noroc bun!” (Good luck!), „Zua bună!” (Good day!), „Sara bună!” (Good evening!) and, after the Church's grip tightened, „Dumňezo v-ajuťe!” (God help you!). Now one would usually say, in an informal setting, „Sérvus!”*, or use the neologism „Salut!” or „Ciao!”, of obvious origins.


*Sérvus is the shortened version of „Servus humillimus, Domine spectabilis!”, so I avoid using it...
