situation:

One day Peter, my friend, has invited me to his house, and while we are watching TV, Peter's mother/father/family members come back, and then in our language we would say: sorry to bother/for bothering, as a kind of greeting.

What are the equivalents in English?

@WBYeats,
I'm not sure about an equivalent, but usually saying "Thank you for having me" to thank them for allowing you to stay is acceptable.
Hope that helps!

@WBYeats,
If Peter invited you, there's a good chance that nothing would be said. Or just "Hello", "Good afternoon/evening".

If a friend in the morning before going out says 'Have a good day', what can I say in reply?:

1. Thank you.
2. Have a good day.
