Basic Dialog:

Greeting someone

In this conversation, two people greet each other. Note the use of the polite particle words at the end of each sentence. This indicates that the speakers do not know each other well, the social status of one is considered higher, or that the greeting is taking place in a formal setting, such as in a business or government office.

Grammar Note:

Question sentences will often be answered by simply restating the main verb, especially in more informal speech. In our dialog, the question is:
sà-baai-dee mǎi (How're you?)
The answer could be simply:
sà-baai-dee (Fine.)
