Notes
GENERAL INFO
Salut is an informal French interjection meaning both "Hi" and "Bye" (hello and goodbye).
USAGE
You use salut to greet or say farewell to friends, family, or people you know well. It can be used alone: "Salut!" or in phrases like "Salut tout le monde!" (Hi everyone!).
REGISTER
Salut is strictly informal. Never use it in formal situations or with strangers, superiors, or elders. For these contexts, use "Bonjour" (hello) or "Au revoir" (goodbye).
