    Both are acceptable, but the preposition “à” is optional; beginners often add it unnecessarily.

  • Bonjour tout le mondes !

    “Monde” is singular; do not add an “s”.

  • Bonjur tout le monde !

    Spelling error – missing the “o” in “Bonjour”.

Cultural Tip

In French‑speaking cultures, “Bonjour” is used until roughly 6 p.m.; after that you switch to “Bonsoir”. The phrase “tout le monde” is gender‑neutral, but in very formal written contexts you may hear “à toutes et à tous” to explicitly include both women and men. Also, avoid using “Bonjour” when you’re entering a private home; a simple “Bonjour” at the door is enough, then you can add “tout le monde” once the group is assembled.
