This is totally random but I'm just wondering, how do you usually greet people?
I'm sure we tend to be very polite around older people but around people our age,
do you guys say Hello? Yo dog? or anything like that?

Or do you have your own language ( by own language, I don't mean a real language) something
that you picked up or a word you invented by yourself.

And do you guys really greet people your age the formal way?
Like, before a conversation, you go, "Good evening, blablabla"?
Do you really do that?

I greet people simply by saying 'Hey'
Pssh. I don't need some fancy shebang to make my greeting more outgoing.

Hello, hi, hey, sup.

Depending on how old and whether or not I need to be formal.

With people I'm comfortable with, "Aye yo!"
And with all else, "Hey."

I greet people with, Hey, Ello, (they're name !!!!)

Hey! Good morning...and such.
But sometimes, if its a really good friend...a random topic
like 'Did you watch...?'
XD

I just wave, that's all.

To guys my age:
"Hey"
"Yo"
"What's up"
(all of the above usually followed by a handshake, or a nod of greeting)

To girls my age:
"Hi 'insert name here'"
(usually followed by a wave)

When meeting strangers my age and older:
"Hi, I'm 'insert my name here'" (usually followed by a handshake)
When they initiate by saying the above, I say "Likewise"

To people I know of higher status:
"Hello, professor."
"Hello, sir."
"Good morning/afternoon/evening 'insert status here'"
(These are usually only followed by a smile after the first meeting which is done with a handshake)

I dunno, to me handshakes are really important in terms of greetings. I was brought up that way.

LOL @ the "what's up dog!"
haha. okay. ><

..i usually greet people with a "hey there"! =)

LOL @ the "what's up dog!"
haha. okay. ><

..i usually greet people with a "hey there"! =)

haha the yo dog made me laugh
I usually say hi and then smile

Well the only time I use 'what up dog' is when im talking to my dog

So many ways.

Hey man; Sup homes/homie;

& many more. Usually with handshake/hug/super pro action.

"Omg,it's you! hi "
Or just randomly hug ^^

hmmm depends how i'm feelingg.

i usually greet my guy friends with a punch on the arm though. ;]

usually i meet all my friends with a simple hey and a kiss on the cheeek! and i greet adults pretty formally, but it cchanges all the time (:

yo (;
hey
hello xD
whats up ?

hi, hey, whats up. to my friends.

adults and people I don't know. HELLOOOOO or HIIIIIII! yes with the extended endings. and then I smile

hey..yo..wassup..to my friends..
hello to strangers..
good morning or a polite greet to someone old like grandma etc..

i say "heyy ~" or "yo" *jokingly XD*
or a combo of both of them 8D "heyyooo" XD
or hi if i'm not too familiar with them or something XD

we from down under say " g'day mate "





hahah im joking.


To older people n pplz who i respect i usualy say

hello/hi, how are u? =]


to pplz who are my age n frnds

heyy!! =DD or jus wave

I say Hi with a wave and a smile. (:

With ppl i know, i say "Yo, whats good"

I'm a nickname person, so once I have a nickname for someone that's how I greet them.

"Sunshine!"

"Swisslock!"

"Teddy Ruxpin!"

I say "hey." to people around my age, like school friends. "Hi." to older people and to people I don't really know.
Or "Yo." to the people I've known for a while and are close to.

to older people i respect i say "good morning"
to my friends i say "hello!" "Hi!" "Hey!"
sometimes i just SMILE at people. i consider it a 'hello'

It depends on who they are.
Friends - "hey"
Kids & people my age - "hi"
American elders - smile; if I were to say something, it would be "hello"
Korean elders - "ahn-young-hah-se-yo" and bow
Korean/American elders - "hey" or "hi", lol
Yeah, very typical, xD

i greet people with the plain o' "hey" in real life
and then on the computer, i'm usually like, "yo"

I say heeeeeey~ haha or hallööööchen to my friends.
smile when i see strangers or neighbors and hallo/hello to the rest haha.

Usually "heyyyy" or "hiiii"... sometimes "yo" but only jokingly

"Hey!" or when people greet me first i reply with "wudup?!"

to most people, i just say "hi~" or "hello~" haha. if it's to friends i'm like, "HEEEEY SUP!". to older people i say "hi! " or to teachers & stuff i say "hi sir/miss."

but i usually wave and smile when i greet people.

Usually I wave, say hi & smile or sometimes, "yo." haha

depends who im greeting to
if its a friend or close friend
hey , yo what up, hey sup, hey what up LOL
if its someone else than i just say hey

usually 'hi ____'!

if it's a prof, i'd go "hello prof. ____"

and for people i'm interested in, i'd probably come up with a (usually lame) pick-up line....

I usually just go "hey, " and wave at them (if they're not close enough haha)
sometimes, I'll just smile and say 'morning' or something; online i'll go "hi, how are you?" xD
yeah, more polite online, huh? lol.

Usually I just wave then say hi. Or if I feel to be more 'fun' at the moment, I'd be saying something totally different. hahah

With people I'm close with, I say 'heyy' or 'what's up'.

With people I'm not close with, I just wave and say 'hi'.

to friends i find myself always saying "sup" or "ay wats up man"...just variations. but sometimes I just say "hey"..

I greet everyone with a "hi" and I wave
if it's with an older person I say "hey ms./mr."
I great my best friend with "dude!"

Friends/Younger Family - WSAAAAP!
Elders - Kiss on the cheek & bless
Mom - SUUPP MAMA.
Adults/People I don't know very well - Smile

Hrm.
Varies with different people....

Hello~
Hi!
Hey : )
*ghetto nods

"Hey" to my friends...
"Yo" to my brother/sis/cousins...
"Salut" to people I know...
"Bonjour" to strangers...
"Hello/Allo" to girls...
"Whaad'up b*tches" to guys who don't give me a break...

lol the 'ghetto nods'...i use to do that lots in highschool...actually i think I still do

Yeah i'd just go "HEY!" or "HEY YOU!"

Sometimes I just say "sup" to people that I kinda find annoying.

Hi! Hello! Hey! *wave*

Always with a smile.

Really close friend:I jsut get to the point.
Strager or not so close friend:Hey how you doing?
My family:Wassup?
Adult:Hi!

I sound rude.

Hi, hey, hello, goodmorning/day/afternoon!, what's up/new?

I try to be polite as possible to elder people. Well, I was taught to treat them that way. But most of the time, I just smile to the people I don't really know of..

*Cross arms & bow*
"Chao bac/chu/tiem/anh/chi/co/cau/etc etc"

No I'm kidding ahah That's only for the Vietnamese adults.

Usually just a "hey" or I go straight to the questions "Did you do.." "Did you see.." etc etc

My teachers I usually say "Hi/Hello (Title)" or "Good morning/afternoon (Title)" with a wave haha

I greet my friends and people around my age:
"Morning (even though it's not morning anymore xD) guys."
&
"Hey guys"
"Hiya ~ "

But to my parents or my relatives / elders:
"Chao di/chu/co/" <- Vietnamese greetings.
&
"Xin chao."

I said "Whats good"
When I'm with my casual friends, but when it comes to
recently met people or formal affairs,
I say

"Pleased to meet you" or "Charmed" :3

Friends: <name> + wave
Teacher: Excuse me, <teacher's name>
Elders eg. family friends, strangers: I usually just bow and smile.
