In Arabic language there are so many equivalents for the word " Hello".

3.Ahlan ( in libyan dialect we say " Ahleen" ^^)

Hello! In Russian we have two main expressions: Zdravstvuyite (formal; translated means "Wish you good health") and privet (among friends). As to good-bye we have two as well: Do svidanya (formal: translated as "till next meeting") and poka (informal).

hello

we said: salam (first "a" similare to "a" in"active" and second "a" simlare to "u" in "umbrella")

喂！or 你好。

We also say salam in azeri language:)

We say "Hoi" under friends or "Grüezi" as formal. 

Hi there. Really interesting post. A lot of useful information for everybody. I’m from Ukraine and in my language we say “Pryvit” or “Zdrastuite” or “Dobrogo dnia”. I really love my mother tongue:-)

hello= salam
how R U ? = halet chetore? (halet like ‘ha’ like ‘humble’ ‘let’ like ‘let’ & (chetore like ‘che’ like ‘bet’ ‘tore’ like ‘home’

Hello in German is just "Hallo" very simple!

and in my mother tongue Vietnamese: Xin chao.

But sometimes if you want to greet a special person, like an old woman or something you have to attach a particular suffix, in that case it would be: Chao Ba.

but it depends on the person's gender and age which suffix you have to use.
