Tere muudes keeltes: Common Greetings
Inglise keeles, we use the word ‘hello’ as a catch-all phrase for greeting and meeting just about anyone. We use it for meeting new people, reacquainting with old friends and addressing others.
We even stick “Hello, My Name Is…” stickers on our lapels when attending a conference or a networking event.
The obvious alternative to the word ‘hello’ is ‘hi’ in English. If we want to be very informal or even if we
want to add a little sarcasm to the greeting, we use the shorter form.
Other languages have words similar to the English ‘hello,’ and native speakers use these words similarly. Inglise keeles, we also have a variety of words and phrases that essentially mean the same thing as hello — more or less.
One of the most commonly used synonyms of ‘hello’ used to be ‘good day.’ These days, you don’t hear many Americans greeting each other by saying, “Good day,” but people in other countries still use this phrase commonly.
Saying ‘hello’ in other languages is one of the easiest ways to learn how to greet someone.

Hello In Italian
Italian is one of the few romance languages on this list that doesn’t have a word that sounds like ‘hello.’ Instead, Italians say, “Ciao!” when they want to say hello.

Hello In Russian
The Russian word for ‘hello’ is ‘privet.’ Since Russia uses an alphabet that is different from that of English and the romance languages, the way you’d see this written in Russian is ‘Привет.’
