Hello, everybody. -Hi.
Hi, Mermaid. How are you today?
Actually, I'm a bit nervous.
Nervous? Why are you nervous?
Because I've been invited to a very important party tonight.
A party? Wow!
How exciting! I love parties.
Where is this party?
It's at the bottom of the sea,
in Neptune's sand castle.
Oh! In Neptune's castle!
Neptune is the king of the oceans.
And are you going to meet Neptune?
Yes, that is why I'm so nervous.
What do I say to him?
Oh, okay,
so you don't know how to greet a king.
To greet means to say hello
or good morning to someone.
No, I don't know how.
Would you like me to help you?
Great. First, we're going to learn how to greet everybody.
We use different greetings
depending on who you're going to meet on your way to the party.
Look at this.
It's a fish.
Yes, and is it an important fish or a common fish?
It's the fish that guards the gates of Neptune's castle.
Exactly, and what can you say to this fish?
That's easy, I just say: "Hello".
Exactly, we can say: "Hello", or "Hi",
when we see a friend or someone we know.
We can also say...
Depending on the time of day.
We can also say: "How are you?",
if we're interested.
Look, what's this now
inside the first room of the castle?
Oh, that's the octopus.
He is the king's assistant.
I have to announce myself to him when I arrive.
What do I say to him?
Well, with the octopus, you can use a more polite or formal greeting.
You can say: "Good evening",
because the party is at night.
And you can say: "How do you do?".
Okay, good evening,
how do you do?
And is that what I should say to the king
when I meet him? "Good evening, how do you do?".
No, if we meet a king or queen,
we can say...
Oh, your majesty, how do you do?
Look!
It's king Neptune himself!
How do you do, your majesty?
Did I do it right?
That was perfect, Mermaid.
Now, it's time to say goodbye.
But don't forget the different greetings
and have fun at your party.
I will, bye!
Bye!
