As far as I know assalamualaikum is the Arabic counterpart of alaichem shalom in hebrew.
Salamunalaikum is the counterpart of shalom alaichem.
And they are used in greeting someone. But the first person says salamunalaikum and the other replies assalamunalikum. Same with shalom aleichim/aleichim shalom.
Selam means hi, salute. Alaikum means something like "to you". Again same for shalom and alecihim.

Shalom aleichem is a greeting in Hebrew, meaning "Peace be upon you".
Assalamualaikum means the same thing, different culture.

Yes. It's the customary Middle Eastern greeting, expressed in 2 languages.

kinda the same...different languages.
it's kinda like hiiiiiiiii
like salam means hi in farsi
shalom means hi in hebrew (it also means peace)
and assalumualaikum is in arabic
see how "salam" is the root word in the arabic word.

Yes.
But when one who usually says one meets one who usually says the other, you bet your pants, that peace is the last thing they have in mind.
