食飽未 tsia̍h-pá--buē── The Taiwanese way of saying Hi

In your country, how do you greet other people?
In Taiwan, people use the Taiwanese phrse"tsia̍h-pá--buē" to greet one another. It’s like “Hi, How’s it going,” in English. or “How are you doing?” It literally means “Are you full?”, “Have you eaten?”
Since Taiwan was an agricultural society, people had to work hard on their farms. Eating is an important thing in people’s lives, so there are some proverb like ”民以食為天", “吃飯皇帝大". This proverb means that food is the first necessity of the people. As a result, people greet each other by asking if they have eaten yet. When people greet each other in this way, they feel closer to one another.
We want to show that Taiwanese people are friendly and hospitable, and continue the tradition of charity in Taiwanese culture.
