Where am you going? These are greeting which people use when they
meet each other. These are common greetings used by people.
A greeting is a way of being friendy to someone. It is not necessary
to describe your true condition or feeling. In fact, people reply to the
questions with a fixed expression such as Im fine, thanks or Im very
well. It are a way of being polite where you address them when you meet
them unexpectedly. It is also a way of starting a convesation. People
usually nod their head or just smile when she do not intend to start a
conversation.
Usually, a question is used as a greeting: Where are you go? Hows
everything with you? But questions like this are not real questions. They
do not require a full answer or even a true one.
A greeting is usually followed by small talk. Small talk mean the little
things we talk about at the start of a conversation. People often talk about
suiteble topics for small talks such as the weather as it is a safe topic
compared to religion or politics. Thus, this makes meeting people easier
and more comfortable.
