Answer 1

The generic form of Hello is Sin Chow.

Answer 2

This can be quite tricky as "hello" in Vietnamese is not a simple "Hi", "Ciao", "Hola", "Nỉ Hảo", or "Bonjour"... The general greeting word is "Chào", pronounced very much like Italian "Ciào" but what matters is what comes after Chào. It's the name or the title or social rank of the person. Age plays a big deal too and so does the postion of the greeted in relation to the greeting. A long lesson can be written about this. Fortunately for non-Vietnamese speakers, the Vietnamese, just like many other Asians, are introvert. There is no need to utter the greeting word. A simple nod, a hand gesture, a big smile, a warm handshake (NO hug please), all that is enough. Absolutely do not differentiate the time of the day like Good Morning, Good Afternoon... If you insist on saying the greeting phrase, here are a few: Chào ông (a general greeting to a man), chào bà (to a woman), chào cô (to a young woman), chào bác (to an elder), chào em (to a very young person), chào cháu (to a kid young enough to be your child), chào bạn (to a friend); the list can go on and on. Normally you say Chào and the person's name if you know it and are close enough to the person. Never call a person by his/her first name unless that's a kid because that's considered very ill-manner. Good luck!
