If you want to say “good morning” in French, all you have to do is say “Bonjour.” There are a lot of people who are familiar with this greeting plus all of the other greetings that may be considered as basic.

There are more things that you can remember such the following:

*For example, when you want to say “Hi,” all you have to do is to say “Salut.”

*If you would like to say “What’s up?” You can say, “Quoi de Neuf?”

*Of course, there are also a lot of people who are familiar with this, whenever you would like to say

“Goodbye,” all you have to do is to say “Au Revoir.”

The thing about the greetings in French is you may not always know how to pronounce them, so make sure to review how they should be said. It will make a lot of difference when you are able to say these phrases properly.

The best word to use if you want to say good morning in French is Bonjour. Most French-speaking countries use this word to greet themselves in the morning. Although, people who can speak the language won't have any problem with the pronunciation, for those who can't speak French, pronouncing the word might seem confusing.

However, the word is very simple to pronounce only if you can say "bohn-zhoor." Once you are able to pronounce this, you are already saying good morning in French. Apart from the fact that "bonjour" means good morning in French, you can also use it to mean "Good day" or "Hello."

For instance, you can say, "Bonjour Madame," meaning Good day/Good morning Madam. Another way to say good morning in French is to say "Salut". However, you need to be sure you are using this for your friends or younger ones. The French word "Salut" also means "hi," "hello," or even "hey."

Throughout all languages, Good Morning is a common greeting to greet someone in the morning time. In French, there are four ways to say the greeting Good Morning. The most common way to say Good Morning is to say the word Bonjour. This word can also be used to say Hello and Good Day. Between friends, most people use the word Salut to say Good Morning, as it is more informal. Though accepted among friends, this greeting is not accepted to use around family members, because it is too informal. Another way is to say bonne matinée, but this is used when leaving.
