A lot of times I say "hey" instead!

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

I say howdy, though that makes some people mistakenly assume I’m from the south.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Happens to me all the time. Then if I append a y'all, outside of Texas, it's game over.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm in Indiana, and "Howdy y'all" flies perfectly fine here.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is me in you form!

Howdy, howdy, howdy, I'm Woody

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Yo. It's cringe AF for a pot-bellied, mid-50's white dude to say but it's kinda automatic.

Probably worse in my native French.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Its either that or Hey. Weirdly, hey is my more formal greeting I use on the corpos at work. Yo is for people I’m cool with.

I'm a "Moin" person. Northern German for ... Every conceivable greeting phrase on any time of day, night or apocalypse. And a complete conversation, too.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

As a south German living in the north I like to throw a few "Servus" around now and then. Keeps people on their toes, never know just what to expect

I’m a hello, but I noticed my manager is a “hey how’s it’s going?” person. I asked him how many people actually tell him how things are going, and he said very few do. If we’re walking together, we now make note of the people who do or don’t answer.

I live in colombia and i just learned a couple new ways to say hi that aren’t just “hola”

You can say:

¿Que mas? means what’s up?

¿Como vamos¿ means how are we doing?

¿Bien o que? means good or what?

All of them are greetings.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

¿que onda? if you're a cool kid

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That’s mexican spanish.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Buenas

¿Que tal?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

"Hey, guys"

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It varies according to the time of the day and or who I'm greeting. I think I mostly say 'good morning' etc.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

[nod]..... and if i really like you [nod up]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Or raised eyebrows and smirk if I’m tired.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I usually go with good morning, regardless of time of day

I say howdy.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Casually, Hey Friends, Ay / yo Professionally, Hello

Context and all that.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Depends:
"Hello" or "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening" - express deference or with people I don't know
"Hi" - more casual, for coworkers or acquaintances
"Hey", "Yo", or "'Sup" - with close confidants
"Greetings" (with an over-pronounced T, I'm American) - flying the weird flag

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Usually some version of “Hey!”

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm more of a Mrs Doubtfire "Helllllooooooo" type of person.

Hi hi, or hoi hoi in Dutch.
It looks weird when I actually write it down though.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm a more sinister, third thing (haiiiiiii!)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm an affectionate person to.my friends and tend to say 'hi honey!'.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

"Huhu" (I'm from Germany)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If I am not familiar with the person, I'm a "hiya/heya" person.

If it's someone I'm familiar with/am glad to see, it's a super sweet "Hellloooooo!"

Hey Hela Jow Dag Hoi Ola Morge

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good day.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I tend to use the version of 'alright?' that's not actually a question.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Either Gday, or ahoy hoy

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
