When meeting someone formally for the first time, we shake
their hand and say "How do you do?" or "Pleased to meet
you."
"How do you do?" isn't really a question, it just means"Hello".
When young people meet informally they sometimes say "Give me
five!" and slap their hands together (high five).
Generally we do not shake hands with people we know well.
Naturally speaking
You say hell o, and I say goodbye!
Follow the dialogue.

The definite article"the" normally goes in front of any ordinal number: e.g. "Queen Elizabeth thesecond."
For most ordinal numbers, the ending '-th' is used, with one or two exceptions for those inevitable irregular
numbers:-
