Greeting a VULCAN is different than greeting a human. It is customary to say hello with the Vulcan hand gesture tal’a. If meeting someone for the first time, it is sometimes polite to say an oath of positivism/positivity. Some very common versions are “sochya eh dif” (peace and long life) and “dif-tor heh smusma” (live long and prosper). When being summoned by a friend, it is common to say “it is agreeable to see you again” in english, which is (va’gla-tor rom-yeht) in vuhlkansu. It is illogical for one greeting to accommodate every situation.
