@Blue1wind -

Hi Blueone, actually for "salut" in French, it means more of a "hi" - a casual greeting. It would not be appropriate say for me to greet my teacher in the morning with "Salut!" But greeting a friend, "salut" would be much more usual(?).

Bonjour is Hello in French. Salut is more like Hi. :)

Anyone actually from France, (first I would love to meet you!) please feel free to correct my explanation here, as needed :) Au revoir! Platy

Oh you're right cyan !

I knew that. I am fluent in French. But it is the English difference between hi and hello that I didn't knew, even if I was using them correctly *ashamed*

Well, thank you for the correction. And yes, we greet friends with "salut" and teachers with "bonjour". But you can also use "salut" in the meaning of "goodbye".

@Blue1wind - your last sentence? Yes I just read about that yesterday - I did not know "salut" can also mean good bye!

What do the French say by way of a toast? Like in American English we'll hear the toast and respond with "Cheers!" or just a small drink if it was a poor toast (shhhh). I think Italians say "salute!" which literally means "to your health!" Sil vous plait, how is this in French?

Sil vous plait (formal form) - Please

Sil te plait (familiar form) - Please :)

oh and for all of you non-French speakers ... how invitations say RSVP... yes, that is from French :)

Responde sil vous plait - literally, Respond if you please. smiley ~ Platy
