Suki, it does. in some languages, the word for hello and goodbye are the same.

That's interesting, in spanish azul means blue, any ways:

Hello-english
Hola-spanish
chiho-chila- heringosa

I'm Native American, Chinese, Japanese, African, and European so...

native(I'l like six different types so I'l just say it in Nathul) - Osiyo
Chinese- Ni hao ma
japanese- komban wa
African- I'm not sure which part of Africa I'm from so sorry about that:D
European - hello, bonjour/salut

Right, only 2 languages are spoken in Europe :rolleyes:

EDIT: nevermind I totally misread that.

pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain!

:eek: :eek: ` i'm no expert in chinese but i thought ni hao ma meant How are you?

also, doesn't native mean where you were born? how can you be born in 4 continents?? :D if its possible tell me. so can have my children like that so they can have a lot of passports :D

hehe. person above is right... only two languages in europe??

s=s and š=sh:rolleyes:

well, I KNOW how to say hello in Russian it's... Privyet


Privyet!!!

oh and goodbye is...

Paka!

In norway it's "hei" or "hallo" as the most used ones. Also "morn/god morgen (good day)" and "god kveld (good evening)" as more formal ones.

[quote=Eiri;238843]hehe funny in my language azul (writen like that and all) means blue!! :D

I have to agree with Noodle Ni Hao ma means How are you!

In my language is Olá or Oi!

yorichan here, or Ana Corpse if you like,
from campbellford, ontario, canada.
HI.
that's how you say hi here....pretty interesting huh?
yup boring old hi from boring old campbellford, ontario, canada.

this is the most interesting thing here, a giant tooney.a giant freaking TOONEY. that's worth two dollars, or two hundred yen.

Indonesian
 

"Apa kabar?" means "How are you?".

In Indonesian we simply say "Halo!" or "Hai!". Basically just like in English.

:ywave:

You're always reviving dead old threads. ;)

In L33t it is

l-l3LL0 l-l0vv 6i-3 LJ t0cl6'/?

I'm belgian and in my mother language ( the french ) I will say : SALUT ! BONJOUR ! COUCOU ! HEY !

Ah, greetings everyone!

Mhmm... I'm from Latvia and here we say 'Sveiki!' (Hello), 'Čau!' (Ciao - both hello & goodbye), 'Labrīt!'(Good morning), 'Labdien!' (good day/good afternoon), 'Labvakar!' (good evening), 'Ar labu nakti!' (good night - technically this isn't a greeting but who cares)... 'Atā' & 'Uz redzēšanos' (Goodbye)

Alright, that's about it...

Man ir savi mazie noslēpumi pa ko neviens nezina... :smokingbear:

(alright... that was pretty random, I'm aware of that.)

Heh.. Google translate? :D

I'm from Wales, and our native language is Welsh!
In Welsh, there isn't really a word for 'hello'
We use:

Bore da - Good Morning
P'nawn da - Good Afternoon
Noswaith da - Good Night

And just as a little side-word, this is the longest word in the Welsh language, it's the name of a train station:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Look it up if you don't believe me. ;)

I too am from America so it would be Hi, Hello and Hey (though Hey is informal and depends on the tone when spoken) and waving:ywave:
but that might be universal.


I did look it up
that's an interesting fact, thank you.

I think the longest word in English (or American English anyway) i think is a medical term: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
(But it is sometimes debated)

P.S I spelled that from memory.:D

I'm from Sweden and the most common way to say hi would be "hej" (hey).
Then of course you have to more casual "tja" (sha) or "tjena" (shena, with the e pronounced as the e(a) in "ear"), and "hallå", which is used for answering the phone.
Aaaaand then there's the more old fashioned greetings like
Good day - God dag
Good afternoon - God (efter)middag
Good evening - God kväll

Been lurking for some time now (mouahaha, I've got my eyes on you...), but I haven't really seen any other Swedes. Am I really the only (from now on) active Swede, or are they all just hiding? Or maybe they went into hibernation due to the bloody cold... :coldbear:
