YUAN says ''Ning Hao''....what do you say?



This 'YUAN' means the chinese currency renminbi, the greetings used by Chinese when you first called into china would be ''Ning Hao'' But how would you say it?



In Singapore, Singaporeans will just say 'hello', some say 'Har - LOU', some say 'hey-lo' ;)
I will sometimes say 'hi!' :D but if I am calling japan, I'll say 'moshi-moshi' :)

Do share with me what you say when you first pick up the phone to greet your caller...i'm simply curious;)

As you know, moshi-moshi in Japan. After that, I will say to friends, "genki?", which means "howdy"

you guys have some interesting signages. back to the topic.
we greet "Jó napot" or "Szia" ..or..

we say usually "SZIA" which can be used both for saying hello or bye. The funny is that Hungarians say hello at leaving without any problem and our SZIA sounds very similar to the US slang: see ya:)
So it can happen to you in Budapest when you arrive they say SEE YA and when you leave you hear: HELLO:)

here in finland they say 'Moi' or use a greeting depending on the time of the day. As for me I usually say Hello or Moi depending on who i am talkin to; a finnish speaker or non-finnish speaker. Happy Mid Autumn's, Hope the haze clears away soon..
