Beginnings of Greeting Sayings
The greetings to an elder one and a younger one are little bit different in Chinese, but in English, there is no difference.
If the one you are to greet is elder than you, you can say:
Wish you or bless you… (祝您…/joo neen/ )
If the one you are to greet is younger than you, you can say:
Wish you or bless you… (祝你…/joo nee/)
