I have an idea..
 

but don't skull me pleas...
it just that i saw here in this forum a lot of people from a lot of different counties i mean, Germanies, Japanese, Norwegians, etc'...
I suggest anyone here would write from where he is and how to say HELLO in his own language..
so you can learn about other languages too...

I'll start..

I'm from Israel, in Hebrew you say: שלום = Shalom !
=] now you...

I'm from Spain, the main language here is Spanish but my mother tongue is Catalan (spoken in the North-Eastern part of the country); in both languages it's hola :)

Aussie here--- and though it pains me to say this (especially coz no-one really says it anymore);;

"G-day Mate!!"

gah!!! it's soooo humiliating!!!
haha
^_~

In hungary we say: csá or szia

LOL

that is funny

Uhm.. It's rather different, depending on where in Denmark ur from.

In Northern Jutland u basically say "Goddaw"
In Southern Jutland it's "moijn"
and in the rest of Denmark it switches around on "Hej du", "Goddag" and "hey"
XD

lol

so you mean you say a different hi on every island

what about comps XD

I'm from Mexico.Our language is Spanish.We say "Hola".

Aaah... Runa is from America. But I speak in sign language ^_^ [Wave]

I am from Lebanon and we say "Marhaba".

Really? I thought "ciao" was 'good bye'? :confused: Some people here say that when they mean to say bye... xD

I'm just another dull American... but I'm half Polish and half Japanese, so I guess I can say dzien dobry and konbanwa ('cause it's nighttime right now)

Denmark-jin
 

Yep... I have to agree with the danish guy... I'm raised in jutland and use to say "goddaw" like a farmer girl. :o But now I live in Copenhagen and says "hey" or "hi" like a skater girl! :D
Even though Denmark is a small country, we have a lot of words... for the same things, I guess! :)
