people, like are our family members, relative, friends, colleagues or unknown

common word use in French Language. Whenever you meet someone you can say
Bonjour. The Literal Meaning of Bonjour is Good Day. As Bon means Good and Jour

to say Hi, Hello. It can also be used to say Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Or
Good Evening. It can also be used to say have a Nice Day in French.
