you know, I don't know, somebody amazingly powerful or famous, you might bow. This is the idea to bow, to bend, to look down when you say hello to somebody.

This is the usual way that we bow. Sometimes we bow when we're sorry, especially in some cultures.

So if you make a mistake to a customer, you might bow. Oh, I'm very sorry.

there are two common ways to bow with your head. Just bring your head down a little bit. And usually we bow when we say

But, you know, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to bow out.

Yeah, I'm, I cannot marry you anymore.
