How do you say "hi" in your language?

Question

If you can, please put your flag next to your comment.

I love learning foreign languages, and I believe learning how to say something in your language would be a fun way for me to connect with you all.

Mine is Ciao 🇮🇹

I hope my comment section won't be filled with native English speakers... lolzz

I'm on the computer so I can't do a flag emoji and I'm too lazy to type the comment out on the phone, but Sweden anyways, a yellow cross on a blue field.

"Hej"=Hi
"Hejsan"=Hello
"Tja, tjenare, tjenixen"=variants of sort of going "yo", that's closest anyway.
"Läget, hur är läget"=Wazzup
"Hälsningar"=Greetings

• Most common: " Kumusta‽ " 🇵🇭 ("kah-moos-TAH"; from Spanish " Como esta‽ " 🇪🇸) • Traditional, but not common at all, even among traditonalists: " ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔ ! " (" Mabuhay! "; "mah-BOO-hay" with the last syllable identical to English "Hi!"; literally the verb「Live!」, but essentially「Long live!/May you live long!」)

What's up? Hey. Or, (nods head) In Korean (which I can't really speak, by the way), it's Annyeoung ("hi"), or Annyeong-haseyo ("hello to you"/"good afternoon").

"Bonjour"  "Salut"  "Salutations" to be a bit fancy "Eh connard!" if you don't like the person

BCRanger10 · Answer

"Hello". But since I'm an English speaker, I'll throw some Latin in there. "Ave" and "Salve".

andreasderjuengere · Answer

There is no informal greeting in Thai.
''Hi'' and ''Hello'', borrowed from English, is used in such cases.
The ''official'' greeting is:
Sawadee kap (when you're a man)
or
Sawadee kah (when you're a woman or a faggot)
