Formal:
* Muraho: This is the most formal greeting and is appropriate for elders, people in positions of authority, and those you don't know well.
* Mwene Data: This is a polite greeting often used in formal settings.
Informal:
* Muramutse: A more casual greeting used among friends and family.
* Muraho neza: A slightly more friendly greeting, meaning "hello well."
* Amahoro: This means "peace" and is often used as a greeting.
To show respect, especially to elders, you can also add "mwene data" after the greeting.
For example:
* Muraho mwene data: Hello, respected one.
* Muramutse mwene data: Good morning, respected one.
In addition to greetings, it's also important to consider the time of day:
* Muraho: Used throughout the day.
* Muramutse: Used in the morning.
* Murakeye: Used in the evening.
Remember that learning greetings in a new language is a great way to show respect and make a good impression.
