greeting in your culture

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Which area is covered by Polynesian culture?
American Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand Maoris, Hawaii, and a few other places I can't think of right now.
Thank you, I will search it more then.

Like I said, it's used more in formal settings these days, not many places where you see people greet each other this way on a daily basis. Yes it is for everyone, male, female, old and young.
Oh I see. But you still greet this way. :thumb:
