意思
Give a polite word of recognition or welcome.
文化背景
The 'Bonjour' is not just a word; it's a social password. If you don't saluer a waiter or a clerk, you might find the service becomes very slow or cold. Greetings in Quebec are often more informal than in France. 'Bonjour' is used, but 'Allô' is also very common as a greeting when meeting someone, not just on the phone. In French-speaking North Africa, saluer someone often involves placing the right hand over the heart after a handshake as a sign of sincerity. In French-speaking Switzerland (Suisse romande), 'la bise' often consists of three kisses instead of the two common in Paris.
The Bonjour Rule
Always say 'Bonjour' before asking for anything in a French shop. It's the most important rule of French etiquette.
No 'à'!
Don't say 'saluer à'. It's a direct object: 'Je salue Marie'.
