Product Information

Would you like to talk about X? This is an empathetic inquiry about a potentially sensitive event or aspect of a person’s life—with the built-in option for them to decline.

These are common greetings when you have not seen someone you know for some time and often follow a hi or hey . These expressions can be used as part of your greeting when you see someone unexpectedly, at a party, a family gathering, etc.
