In Turkmen society, respect for elders and those in higher social positions is paramount. Here are some key points to remember when greeting someone:

Use Titles: Always address people with their titles, such as "Aga" (Mr.) or "Eje" (Mrs.) to show respect.

Greet Elders First: When entering a group, greet the oldest person first.

Stand Up: When greeting someone, particularly an elder, it is polite to stand and face them.

These customs reflect the deep-seated values of respect and hierarchy in Turkmen culture.

When meeting someone for the first time, consider the following tips:

Be Polite: Always use polite language and tone.

Smile: A warm smile can make a positive impression.
