Salomlashish odatlari mamlakatlarga qarab farq qiladi. O‘zbekistonda erkaklar qo‘l berib, ko‘pincha ikki qo‘llab ko‘rishadi (shake hands), ayollar yuzdan o‘pishib yoki quchoqlashib salomlashadi, yoshlar kattalarga bosh egib salom beradi. Afrikada ko‘pchilik qo‘l berib ko‘rishadi. Yevropada do‘stlar yuzdan o‘pishadi: ba’zi mamlakatlarda bir, ikki yoki uch marta. Yangi Zelandiyada Maori xalqi va Arktikadagi Eskimos (Inuit) burunlarini bir-biriga tegizib salomlashadi. Bosh irg‘ash ko‘p mamlakatlarda «ha», bosh chayqash «yo‘q» ma’nosini beradi, lekin Bolgariyada ko‘pincha aksincha. Present Simple: «In Uzbekistan men shake hands.» «Maoris touch noses.» Qo‘shish: «Some people kiss, others shake hands.»
Namunalar
«Hello, around the world». In Uzbekistan men shake hands and put the other hand on the heart. Girls often kiss or hug their friends. In many European countries friends kiss on the cheek, but in different numbers: one, two or even three kisses. In New Zealand the Maori people touch noses. And in Bulgaria people shake their heads for “yes”! Every country has its own way to say hello. (Mazmuni: dunyo bo‘ylab salomlashish.)
— How do men in Uzbekistan greet each other? — They shake hands. — And how do Maoris greet each other? — They touch noses.

Nega bosh irg‘ash hamma joyda «ha» ma’nosini bermaydi?
Ishoralar madaniyatga bog‘liq; masalan Bolgariyada bosh chayqash ko‘pincha «ha» deganidir.
