Hello Skylervm,

I’m going to give you the brazilian context answer.

The term “Salutation” is rarely used here in Brazil and It’s only used in literature.
It litertaly means “Salutation”/“Greetings”, in other words, it’s just a word the represents a “Greeting” as Bom dia or Boa Noite.

If I did not explained it clearly, let me know. I’ll do my best to help you.
