How to Say "Hello Everyone" in French

bonjour tout le monde

bonjour tout le monde is the French way to say "hello everyone".

This phrase is a common greeting used to address a group of people. You might also encounter Bonjour à tous, which means "hello to everyone".

What does it mean word for word?

Literally, bonjour tout le monde translates to "good day all the world".

While bonjour tout le monde is very common, bonjour à tous serves as a slightly more formal or concise alternative for addressing a group.

Even though tout le monde refers to a group of people, it is grammatically singular and requires singular verbs.

The word monde in tout le monde comes from the Latin word mundus, which originally meant 'pure' or 'clean' before it came to mean 'the world'.
While bonjour is a standard greeting, it is considered impolite in many French social settings to enter a shop or a small group without saying it first.
French speakers use tout le monde to mean 'everyone', but the word monde is also used in the phrase il y a du monde to describe a place that is crowded.
