Say "Hello" in all the languages you know, please?

Answer 1

Afrikaans: Goeie dag (yes it means "good day" and we actually say "hello" or "haai"(hi) most of the time). Slang would be "hoesit" (how is it).

South African English: howzit (from Afrikaans slang "hoesit").
As in Afrikaans, it was originally meant as a question. Nowadays it simply means "hello".

British English: you all right mate? (Appearently also not a question)

Zulu, Swazi: Sawubona (to one person), Sanibona/Sawubonani (more than one). Informally you can just say "yebo" (yes). Sawubona actually means "you are seen".

Xhosa: Molo (to one person), Molweni (more than one)

Tswana/Sotho/Pedi: Dumela (one person), Dumelang (more than one). Informally you can just say "agee" (yes) but it is somewhat improper to use it all the time. (Same with Zulu above)

Shona family of dialects of Zambia: "Kanjani". I think it must originally have meant "how are you?",..


Norwegian, Swedish: "hei"

Welsh: "bore dda"

I don't see the point in me repeating the German, Spanish, French etc that are allready listed, except that I disagree with German "tschuess". In my experience it only means good bye.

Argentine Spanish (in my experience): "Buen dia"
