You didn’t really mean that, did you? • Hello! Did you even listen?   Hi is more informal and is now very common. How are you? or How are you doing? (very informal) often follow Hello and Hi: ‘Hello, Mark.’ ‘Oh, hi, Kathy! How are you?’ Good morning is often used by members of a family or people who work together when they see each other for the first time in the day. It can also be used in formal situations and on the telephone. In informal speech, people may just say Morning. Good afternoon and Good evening are much less common. In informal use people often just say Afternoon or Evening. Good night is not used to greet somebody, but only to say goodbye late in the evening or when you are going to bed. In informal use people often just say Night. If you are meeting someone for the first time, you can say Pleased to meet you or Nice to meet you (less formal). Some people use How do you do? in formal situations. The correct reply to this is How do you do?
