To salute is to greet with special token of respect, as a soldier his commander. To apostrophize is to solemnly address some person or personified attribute apart from the audience to whom one is speaking; as, a preacher may apostrophize virtue, the saints of old, or even the Deity. To appeal is strictly to call for some form of help or support. Address is slightly more formal than accost or greet, though it may often be interchanged with them. One may address another at considerable length or in writing; he accosts orally and briefly.

How to use greet in a sentence?
Donald Trump lined us up, and I thought this was going to be like a meet and greet, like ‘ hi, how are ya, nice to meet Rachel Crooks, ’ it was not, donald Trump was just looking me over like I was a piece of meat, I was not a human being, I did n’t have a brain, I did n’t have a personality.
