Say "Hello" or "Greet" somebody in your native tongue?

Just thought we all could be a bit "enlightened" by some cultural hospitality.

I will start:


"Hey....."

Well, in Illinois we say 'hello'

In Farci it is pronounce 'Al-a-shuke-mak-bay'

In Hawaiin it is 'Aloha'

In Spanish it is 'Com Usta'

In Japanese it is 'kinichi-wa'

In Korean it is 'Anyonghasio' or 'Yobosaio'

In Australian it is 'Gday, ya bloody pelican!'

In California it's 'Whoa dude! Totally Awesome!'

In New York it's 'Hey, that's MY cab!'

In Texan it is 'YEEEHAAWWW, HOWDY PARDNER!!'

When I read the original   thread,.........
the above lines are not posted?

Do you think it is Yabb having some fun?

No, I just edited it a bunch...

In Spanish it is 'Com Usta'

Maybe in that "Castilian book Spanish".  In the real world it's "Como Esta".

Well I don't neccessarily greet anyone with the same greeting more than once...

Well howdy sir!

Well Howdee doo Sir!

Welcome to our humble planet sir, you would make an excellent speimen...

And so on...

The phrase, "What's up?" is common around here

"Servus" (bavarian )

"Moin"

"Tach"

"Hi"

"Hey"

"Hallo"

Depends where I am & whom I'm speaking to. If it's a friend I usually say " 'Ow do" "Hello old chap, long time no see", "Wotcher Mate", "Alright?", "Gettin' plenty?" or something similar. If it's a stranger I would say " Mornin', Afternoon or Evenin' as appropriate.

Hmmm okay,
Spanish - Ola
Dutch - Hoi
French - Bonjour
Hungarian - Szavasz (szavasztok for plural), I think this may be derived from the Bavarian Bj
