A polite greeting used during the day, equivalent to 'good day' or 'hello'
Bonjour, comment ça va ?
Hello, how are you?
Bonjour, monsieur.
Good day, sir.
Used in both formal and informal contexts, though slightly more formal than 'salut'.
In French, 'bonjour' is a versatile greeting that works in both formal and informal settings, unlike 'salut', which is more casual.
'Bonjour' is the standard greeting from morning until late afternoon, after which 'bonsoir' (good evening) is preferred.
From Old French 'bon jour', meaning 'good day'. The term evolved from a formal greeting to a common everyday salutation.
While 'bonjour' is appropriate in most daytime situations, 'salut' is more casual and typically used among friends or in informal settings.
