A couple examples of common greetings are:

~Hallo, hoe gaat het? (this would be most appropiate if you were meeting an astranged friend from back in the day for example). This literary translates to: 'Hello, how are you doing?'.

~ Goededag meneer/mevrouw! This directy translates to 'Good day Sir/Ma'am'. This sentence is (just like in English) morphable to a certain situation. An example of this would be to say 'Goedemorgen' (Goodmorning) instead 'Goededag' when it's still early or 'Goedeavond' (Good Evening) if it's approaching night time.

The most common ways to introduce yourself would be to say 'Ik ben' (I am) or 'Mijn naam is' (My name is). To ask for someone's name you ask 'Wat is jou/uw naam?' (What is your name?) or 'Hoe heet jij/u?' (What do they call you?)

If you already said: 'Mijn naam is [Your Name]' and you want to know the name of the person your talking to, than you can just say 'en wat is die van jou/u' (And what is yours). If you already said 'Ik ben [your name]', you can just add 'en wie ben jij/u?' (and who are you?) to the end of the sentence.

Please do keep in mind that there are two forms of 'you' in dutch, an informal (jij) and a formal (u). While most people don't mind which one you call them (most people actually prefer the informal one from my experience), I thought it was important to know that. This is also the reason that I put teo variants of the word 'you' in most sentences.

Have fun learning dutch!
