What do you say for HELLO in your language?Whats your language? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 86/100. krupesh (1071)   ranked 427 out of 18,686 in questions & answers8 months ago

Now as MYLOT is a great place I think mylotters who have joined are from all over the world.So I thought it would be a great place to put this question as knowing mylotters language as well as what they say to HELLO in their respective languages.

Now after getting to know what they say to HELLO in their language it would be my pleasure to greet them in their own language for the future discussions.

In our language HELLO is said as NAMASKARA & our language is KANNADA

Whats yours?

Where I am there are several acceptable ways to say hello:

hola, Howdy, Hey, Hi, Whats Up

Spanish and English are the most spoken languages in my area

Well I'm also a native English speaker. The most common phrases I use are: Hi, Hello and Hey. We actually had a few visitors in my classroom today and they taught the kids how to say hello in Korean but I must honestly say I don't quite remember and I don't want to totally butcher the spelling - so hopefully someone here is from Korea and will post it themself!


myLot reputation of 86/100. krupesh (1071)   ranked 427 out of 18,686 in questions & answers  8 months ago

Hello Jennlk, it really feels great after commenting on the above three responses saying hello in their respective languages.

Ya lets hope we have a korean who responds.Thanks.

Well, I speak English so we usually just say:

Hello
Hi
Hey
What's up?
and things like that...

Once in awhile we hear people say Hola or Ciao, but the more common greetings for saying Hello are the ones I listed.


myLot reputation of 86/100. krupesh (1071)   ranked 427 out of 18,686 in questions & answers  8 months ago

Hello Bethany, well I think you have a mixed group of people living in ya country who speak different languages.The first response from okki suggests me that Hola is spanish.So you have Spanish as well aas English speaking people right?

We speak English so "hi" or "hello".

In Irish or Gaeilge, a common greeting would be, "dia duit" or "conas atá tú?"

Although Gaeilge is our native tounge it is only spoken in very small communtities throughout Ireland.


myLot reputation of 86/100. krupesh (1071)   ranked 427 out of 18,686 in questions & answers  8 months ago

Dia Duit the zone! The people who speak Gaeilge are from a different zone...hehehe

Well, I speak American English. And I'm not sure on this, but I believe that our official word for "hello" is "Sup?" wink

I love greetings in different languages! I like how when you log onto Flickr.com, it will greet you in a different language each time, then it will say "Now you know how to greet someone in" and it lists the language that was used. It's also fun to read the greeting then try to guess what language it is!


myLot reputation of 86/100. krupesh (1071)   ranked 427 out of 18,686 in questions & answers  8 months ago

Sup trickiwoo, you name is a little tricky though.Yes it feels nice to greet mylotters in their own languages.
