How do you say "hi" in your language?

[Sweetener_]

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

[NamerOfStars]

I think I'll let the Animaniacs take this one: https://genius.com/Animaniacs-the-hello-song-lyrics
But of those I know that aren't on that list:
In Irish, it's "Dia duit"

In Klingon, it's "NuqneH"

And in D'ni (which doesn't have a flag that I'm aware of), it's "shorah".

[Sweetener_]

Dia duit 🙏🏾❤

[AlexanderAnttila]

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

[Sweetener_]

Hejsan, hur mår du? 😸

[AlexanderAnttila]

Jag mår bara bra, tackar som frågar min vackra dam. :)

[Sweetener_]

Varsågod 😇

[tatianamay]

வணக்கம்(Vanakkam) in Tamil

I’m from India 🇮🇳 by the way

[Sweetener_]

Namaste 🙏🏾❤

[tatianamay]

[MeghanL]

Ours 🇺🇸 would be "Hi!" More formally " Hello."

We also say "Hey!" "Whazzup!" & many other things.

[Astarlessnightsky]

When greeting someone you can say:
🇩🇪

Hi
Hallo
Tag
Guten Tag
Moin
Hallöchen

[Sweetener_]

Hallo, hoe gaat het?

[Astarlessnightsky]

Thats not german. Sounds dutch to me.

[Astarlessnightsky]

But i am fine.

[Sweetener_]

Sorry, it should've been "Wie geht es dir" 😊🙈

[N192K001]

• 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!」)

[J2ohhhhh]

Szervusz🇭🇺 it's from Latin and means for your service or what can I do for you originally, but nowadays it's just "hi" and also
你好 but noone in 🇨🇳 actually says ni hao it's more like hai-hai, eih or haloow

[Sweetener_]

Halloow 😊

[J2ohhhhh]

Hai-hai🤓

[ChrisMaster69]

There are a few variations.

Aareet

such as

Aareet pet

[Sweetener_]

🙏🏾❤

[invalid1]

اوه شكرآ ❤️ يالذكائك ياصغيرتي 😖😍

[MCheetah]

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").

[Guanfei]

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

[Sweetener_]

Salut, comment ça va?

[Guanfei]

Fort bien, et vous-même?

[Sweetener_]

comme çi comme ça, haha

[BCRanger10]

"Hello".

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

[andreasderjuengere]

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)

[Lynx122]

Hoi

"Hi". But a part of me wishes it was "salut." I love the French language.

[Zelda_5]

"Hi" in my native language. But I'm in Canada and also fluent in French, so "bonjour" and "salut".

[purplepoppy]

Shwmae (shoe-my) often shortened to S'mae. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[ArztSchlachthof]

Ahoj! - and since I can't find a Slovak flag, the country is, you guessed it, Slovakia 😉

[jewishqueeen]

Well In Hebrew we say “ Shalom “ or “ שלום “ . It is used when we say goodbye too.

[J2ohhhhh]

That flag looks bad ass. Like it was the sith empire or something like that.

[Opinion Owner]

@J2ohhhhh

My family immigrated to the US from an M-class planet in the Beta Quadran. You look familiar, did you go to high school on Kronos?

Anyway, our US visas were denied because of some mess up with the Klingonese ambassador to the US, so we just landed in Tijuana and walked across.

[J2ohhhhh]

Tijuana is a nice place to land in.

I participated in the 2015 "show me what you got" intergalactic talentshow. No bragging, my performance was not remarkable by any means, but being on interdimensional cable can still make a face a bit more familiar.

[MiriamDoremi]

Hello 🇺🇲

[Glasgow55]

I'm from Scotland, so there are many ways of greeting people. But in China, where I live now - mostly - it's Nǐ hǎo

[Nazgol]

Salam,(iran)

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Just hi. But "hello" is "kamusta" Also "hey!" would be "hoy!" But sometimes it's heard as a disrespect.

[MrJMM]

Cześć 🇵🇱
Hola 🇲🇽
