GREETINGS-SALUDOS
“Hello” is generally the first word you learn in any new language. However, if you are wanting to invest more into your English language skills and sound more like a native speaker, there are a ton of more colorful ways to say “hello.”
Like with all languages, there are different ways to say “hello” in English depending on the situation and person you are talking to. For example, you would greet your friends and family differently to the cashier at the supermarket or the person in a job interview.
We’ll cover some basic English greetings both for formal and informal occasions.
Informal Greetings
1. Hi!
2. Hey, Heya or Hey there!
3. Morning!
A more casual way of saying “Good morning.”
4. How are things?
5. What’s new?
6. It’s good to see you
As you may have assumed, this one is used when you haven’t seen someone in a while.
7. G’day!
This is short for “Good day,” typically used in Australia.
8. Howdy!
This is commonly used in the southern regions of the United States.
9. What’s up?
This can also be shortened to “‘Sup?”
10. How’s it going?
11. What’s happening?
12. What’s the story?
This one is popular in Ireland.
13. Yo!
Although some of these greetings look like questions, no answers are expected or a standard “good, thank you” or “nothing much” will suffice. These greetings are typically used amongst friends or in more casual situations.
