Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Bonjour → neutral, appropriate in basically all situations formal or informal
Salut → friendly, informal. Only used with people you'd generally use the pronoun "tu" with.
Coucou → friendly, more intimate than salut.

bonjour isn't exactly okay in an informal context

i'd be weirded out if my friends greeted me with bonjour

it creates distance

[tight oriole]

hmmm yes

I wouldn't say it to friends, I guess

unless they're in a group I don't know everyone in'

[scenic igloo]

We regularly use it at work/with friends, odd

We're heavy on the tutoiement but I'd say bonjour is prooobably most common out of bonjour/allô/salut? Though all are common

I'm not sure if I've heard coucou here yet

We = quebec, namely montreal at least

[charred cosmos]

I understand. Merci everyone.

[magic vault]

well its very different in quebec then
