What's the difference between English greetings and hello?
I can answer this question. Although my spoken English is not very good, I am familiar with the vocabulary of College English Band 4 and Band 6. I have summarized a table for you to have a rough look at first:

Pronunciation is different from meaning.

Greeting: English [? ɡri? T] beauty [? ɡri? T] hello; Greetings; Greetings; Pay tribute; Greetings; Congratulations; Congratulatory message; ?

Hello: UK [hl] USA [hlo? ] hello; (used to say hello, answer the phone or attract attention) hello; ?

Different usage

1. The basic meaning of greeting is "greetings, greetings and welcome", which means that two or more people greet each other to show friendship or etiquette. This is an ordinary address.

When it comes to "greetings, congratulations", greetings are usually in the plural. You can use a greeting instead of hello as a greeting.

Her greeting was cold and unnatural.

Her greeting was cold and reluctant.

He nodded his welcome.

He nodded in response to the greeting.

He greeted us cheerfully.

He greeted us happily.

Second, hello is used as an interjection, mainly to greet acquaintances; It can also be used to call distant acquaintances or strangers to attract attention; It can also be used to call each other.

Hello is usually placed at the beginning of a sentence.

Hello, it's me.

Hello, we are back again!
