In Indonesian we simply say "Halo!" or "Hai!". Basically just like in English. ![]() |

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... |

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

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. ![]() |

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... ![]() Mumford and Sons - Awake My Soul "We can hope for the future, but there may not be one." Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons |
