* ¡Buenas tardes! (Good afternoon!)

The most common way to greet someone in the afternoon is to say "¡Buenas tardes!" This is a formal greeting that can be used in any situation. If you are meeting someone for the first time, or if you are in a professional setting, it is best to use "¡Buenas tardes!"
The other greetings listed above are more informal and can be used with friends or family. ¿Cómo estás? (How are you?) is a very general question that can be used to start a conversation. ¿Qué tal? (What's up?) is a similar question that is often used among friends. Hola, ¿qué haces? (Hello, what are you doing?) is a more specific question that can be used to ask someone what they are up to. ¿Cómo te va? (How's it going?) is another general question that can be used to start a conversation.
No matter which greeting you choose, it is important to be polite and respectful. When you greet someone in Spanish, it is customary to make eye contact and smile.
