To say "hello" in English, the most common ways are "Hello," "Hi," and "Hey." These are informal greetings suitable for everyday use. For more formal contexts, you can use greetings like "Good morning," "Good afternoon," or "Good evening" depending on the time of day. Other informal variations include "How are you doing?" or slang like "Yo!" and "What's up?" Here are some key ways to say hello:
- Informal: Hello, Hi, Hey, Morning, Afternoon, Evening, How’s it going?
- Formal: Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, How do you do?
- Slang/colloquial: Yo!, What’s up?, Sup, Heyyy
For first-time meetings, "Nice to meet you" or "Pleased to meet you" are appropriate. This gives a broad idea of saying hello in English depending on formality and situation.
