International 'Hello's and 'Good-Bye's
Hi folks,
I know such a thread already exists, but it's more than 4 years old and contains thousands of errors.
I'd like to collect the ways to say hello and good-bye in the common languages. As I want a good quality here, please be a native speaker of the language you post.
All I know for sure is German:
hello: Hallo
good morning: Guten Morgen
(between noon and evening): Guten Tag
good evening: Guten Abend
bye: Tschüss (sounds like the English 'cheers', just drop the 'r' - very common)
or: Auf Wiederhören (very formal)
or: Tschau (sounds like the Italian 'ciao')
thank you: Danke
or: Vielen Dank
In Bavaria and Austria (in addition to the above mentionned words):
hello: Servus
or Grüss Gott
bye: Servus
