Common Words in world languages?

Question

There are hundreds of languages in the world. I think at very least we should know how to say hello or goodbye in every one of them. Can you help me find the translations of common words in the world languages (Spanish, French, German, Latin, Greek, Hindu, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Russian, and others)

For languages that use similar alphabet spell and closest attempt at correct pronunciation, and for languages like Chinese with a completely different alphabet try the closest attempt at correct pronunciation

thanks

Answer 1

In french:
-Hello! : -Bonjour!
-Good Bye! : -Au revoir!
-How are you? : -Comment vas-tu? (informal)
-Comment allez-vous? (formal)
-I love you! (that's also important to know! ^_^) : -Je t'aime!

In germain:
-Hello! : -Guten Tag!
-Good Bye! : -Aufwiedersehen!
-I love you! : Ich liebe dich!

In Hawaiian:
-Hello! and Good bye! : -Aloha!
-How are you? : -Pehea 'oe?
-I love you! : -Aloha au wau iâ 'oe!

Answer 2

in hindi you say hello and goodbye by saying namaste
in lakota it is how cola to say hello and doksha to say goodbye
in spanish is hola for hello, and adios for goodby
in french you say bon jour for good day, and aur aviou (not sure on the spelling) for good by
a lot of languages say the word no, or nay

Answer 3

English - German:

Hello - Hallo

Good Bye (casual) - Chewsu (spelled phonetically)

Answer 4

Now me, I'm pretty much a certified francophone. Therefore...

Bonjour=Good day
Allo=Hello
Au revoir=good-bye
Comment ca va(comme-ONH SA VA)=how's it going?
C'est ou la sal de bain?(SAY OO LA SAHLL DE BAYN) =Where's the bathroom?

I can't do accents on this computer, so excuse my lack of it.
