If you are new to Animal Crossing, you may wonder what the greeting is and when to use it in the game. Then, you probably want to know what makes a greeting different from the catchphrase. Let’s dive into our post to know more about it!
What Is a Greeting in ACNH?
Greetings in Animal Crossing can be defined as welcoming words when you greet your villager. It aims to create friendships with a particular villager. Greetings are personal that will stay only between you and your villager. Greetings are not spread and used throughout the island.

When the thought bubble appears, your villager may want to create or change a special greeting. The greeting can also have various other meanings, including:
-
- Your villager may want to move away from a player’s New Horizons island
- Your villager may want to sell of gift you an item
- Your villager may need help with a task like sending a gift to another villager, among other things.
Moreover, greetings are longer than catchphrases or nicknames. If you want any part of a greeting capitalized like the first letter, you will have to capitalize it themselves.
