Good morning, how are you? Is the family ok? In good shape? What about work? Have a nice day! For us, in Senegal, it is important to spend some time greeting. If we have just met, we need to explain who we are, where we come from and who our family is. This is something that usually surprises my clients. We first say hello and we recognise each other, then we explain the reasons why we are there or share meals or accommodation or… If you travel to the diola country you may choose to greet using our traditional way. You must say: Kasumai. To which your interlocutor will answer: Kasumai Baré if he is diola Casa, or Kasumai kep if Fogni… A great diversity of languages!
