Hi!

This is a casual โ€˜Hiโ€™ or โ€˜Helloโ€™. Itโ€™s short, simple and you can say it to anyone. A friend, a family member, a coworker. Really to anyone.

Hey

โ€˜Heyโ€™ is a very informal way to greet someone. Say it to your close friends and family members. Use โ€˜Heyโ€™ also to get someoneโ€™s attention.

Hi. How are you?

โ€˜Hi. How are you?โ€™ is a casual way to say hi to anyone you meet during the day. Asking how they are or how they feel makes the greeting even more friendly.

Good Morning!

โ€˜Good Morning!โ€™ is a phrase you will normally use in the mornings with your loved ones and friends, or coworkers.

Good Afternoon!

โ€˜Good Afternoon!โ€™ is a greeting to use after 12:00 am. It is both formal and informal.

Good Evening!

Use โ€˜Good Evening!โ€™ greeting after 18:00 pm. It sounds good in formal and informal conversations.

Greetings!

โ€˜Greetings!โ€™ is more formal. Plus you can use ยกSaludos! to greet many people at once.

Hi. My name isโ€ฆ

Use โ€˜Hi. My name isโ€ฆโ€™ in informal situations. When you want to get to know someone. For example in a coffee house.

Hello, beautiful

โ€˜Hello, beautiful.โ€™ We would use this to greet someone we are romantically involved in. Itโ€™s a very forward expression where you admire someoneโ€™s beauty. So we donโ€™t use it casually and with people we donโ€™t know. Unless youโ€™re trying to be flirty.

Hi mom

โ€˜Hi momโ€™ is a casual greeting for your mother. Very informal and most often used when youโ€™re not at the same place as your mother. Maybe talking over the phone.ย 

Hi handsome

โ€˜Hi handsomeโ€™ is very similar to โ€˜Hello beautiful,โ€™ but itโ€™s specific because we say it to men. Men, women, and trans people can be beautiful, but in general, men are considered handsome. Itโ€™s used when youโ€™re familiar with someone, involved with them, or when youโ€™re being flirty.ย 

Hello everyone

This means โ€˜Hello everyone.โ€™ Itโ€™s a very casual greeting for multiple people. We use it commonly when you enter a full room, or when youโ€™re having an online call with multiple people. A simple way to greet every person youโ€™re talking to without singling anyone out.

Hi there

โ€˜Hi thereโ€™ is one of the most casual ways of greeting someone. It doesnโ€™t describe any prior relationship specifically. So it can be used to greet anyone, from a friend youโ€™ve seen many times, to someone youโ€™ve only just met.ย 

Hi guys

This means โ€œHi guys,โ€™ but it doesnโ€™t refer to men in particular. Itโ€™s also very casual, so it can mean a group of people. Since itโ€™s usual to refer to a group of people as โ€˜guysโ€™ simply because of popular culture, you can use it to greet any group of people, men or mixed. If you want to be specific you can use to greet a group of male friends, or men you are familiar with.

Hello my friend

โ€˜Hello my friend,โ€™ is a way to say Hi to someone you know closely. We use it to greet our friends, and not someone you just met. Itโ€™s a fairly intimate greeting that is reserved for those close to you.

Hello my love

This means โ€˜Hello my love,โ€™ and itโ€™s a very specific greeting for someone you love. We say Hi this way to someone we are romantically involved with. This is the most common use. However, you can also use it for a very close friend, or best friend. Love can mean many things, so some people use it to say Hi to a friend they love most in life.ย 

Hello, nice to meet you

โ€˜Hello, nice to meet you,โ€™ is a way to say hi to someone you just met. You donโ€™t know this person from before, so in order to be polite and nice you say that itโ€™s nice to meet them. Itโ€™s good for any situation where youโ€™re meeting a new person.

Hi, whatโ€™s up

โ€˜Hi, whatโ€™s up,โ€™ is a very casual greeting. We use it to say Hi to anyone we know from before. It can be just one person, or a group of people. Use it in any occasion where the atmosphere is comfortable, and you know all or most of the people youโ€™re greeting.ย 

Good morning sunshine

This means โ€˜Good morning sunshine,โ€™ and we use it to greet someone in the morning. However, we donโ€™t use it with everyone. โ€˜Sunshineโ€™ is reserved for people you are close to, either as friends, relatives, or someone you are romantically involved with.

Hi, itโ€™s me again

โ€˜Hi, itโ€™s me again,โ€™ is a very common way to greet someone youโ€™re seeing for the second time, or multiple times in a row. It can be used in any situation like that. Like when youโ€™re entering a shop again, or calling someone you just talked to earlier. Itโ€™s pretty informal, so you wouldnโ€™t use it a work as much.

Hey, did you have your first coffee already?

โ€˜Hey, did you have your first coffee already?โ€™ is a way to greet someone youโ€™re familiar with. Itโ€™s not just a question, but also in some situations an invitation. You would use it when you want to have a coffee with that person, so youโ€™re asking them if they already had one. Any occasion is good, but make sure thereโ€™s some way you can grab a coffee in case the person youโ€™re asking wants one.

Happy Monday

โ€˜Happy Monday,โ€™ is a fairly uncommon way of saying Hi to someone. It means you are very happy about the day, and you want to make that clear. You can use it to wish someone a โ€˜Happy Monday,โ€™ but it also means that you hope their week goes well too. Since Monday is the start of the week, and if it goes well maybe the rest will too.ย 

Say hi to Ana for me

โ€˜Say hi to Ana for me,โ€™ is a greeting request. You can use it with any name, but you are asking a person to say hi to someone else for you. You would use it when youโ€™re not sure if youโ€™ll see that person, but you know someone else will.ย 

Send Ana my love

โ€˜Send Ana my love,โ€™ is also a greeting request. Itโ€™s a very personal one, since youโ€™re asking someone to convey your feelings to that person. This means that you are very close with them, but youโ€™re not sure if youโ€™ll see them soon.ย 

Tell Ana I send kisses

โ€˜Tell Ana I send kisses,โ€™ is very similar to โ€˜Send Ana my love.โ€™ Itโ€™s a greeting request that is very personal and emotional. Since you are close to this person you want them to know youโ€™re thinking of them. This can be for a very close friend, or significant other.

Hi, itโ€™s very nice to meet you

โ€˜Hi, itโ€™s very nice to meet you,โ€™ is a bit more formal than โ€˜Hi, nice to meet you.โ€™ Here youโ€™re being extra polite and friendly, so itโ€™s a bit more formal. You can use it when introducing yourself to someone new from work, a client, or in general someone youโ€™re doing business with. It can also be used when meeting a blind date, or a friend of a friend.ย 

Hi, Iโ€™ve heard great things about you

This means โ€˜Hi, Iโ€™ve heard great things about you,โ€™ and itโ€™s a very versatile way of saying Hi. We use it when weโ€™re meeting someone we have heard of before. It can be formal or informal, so you can use it on any occasion. Itโ€™s just used when you are meeting someone for the first time, and you want to make sure the person knows you have already heard good things about them.

Hi. Long time no see

โ€˜Hi. Long time no seeโ€™ is a way of saying Hi to someone you know, but havenโ€™t seen in a while. Itโ€™s a casual greeting, so use it when youโ€™re familiar with someone. It can be anyone you know, not just friends or family.

Hi. My house is your house

โ€œHi. My house is your house,โ€™ is a casual greeting for a person, or people, who are coming to your house or apartment. Itโ€™s an invitation, and it means that you want your guest or guests to feel comfortable. Just like if they are in their own house.ย 

Hello, where are you from?

โ€˜Hello, where are you from?โ€™ is something you ask a person youโ€™ve just met. Itโ€™s a very common way of saying Hi when youโ€™re traveling. If you want to get to know a person itโ€™s one of the first questions you can ask.

Tell her I said hi

โ€˜Tell her I said hi,โ€™ is another greeting request. Itโ€™s very casual because youโ€™re just asking someone to say Hi to someone else in your name. There arenโ€™t many emotions behind it, just a casual greeting to let someone know theyโ€™re on your mind.

Goodbye

This can mean โ€˜Goodbye,โ€™ or the shortened version โ€˜Bye.โ€™ โ€˜Goodbyeโ€™ is a bit more formal, and you can use it with someone you know maybe only professionally. โ€˜Byeโ€™ is more informal and casual, meant for people you are already familiar with.ย 

See you soon

โ€˜See you soonโ€™ is a good way of saying Bye to someone you see fairly regularly. Itโ€™s casual, not informal or formal. We use to say Bye to someone we either see often, or want to see often. You can use it in any situation.

Bye, and have a good day

โ€˜Bye, and have a good dayโ€™ is a fairly formal way of saying Bye. It can be used in business meetings, formal dinners, or when youโ€™re saying Bye to someone you know professionally. You wouldnโ€™t generally use it with someone you are close to.

Take care

This means โ€˜Take care,โ€™ and is a very casual way of saying Bye. Itโ€™s commonly used and can be used with everyone. It tells the person you wish them well, and itโ€™s good in any situation.ย 

God bless you

โ€˜God bless youโ€™ is a religious way of saying Bye. This means that you would use it when talking to someone who is religious, or if you are. Itโ€™s a way of saying that you hope God watches over them when they leave. Itโ€™s good for any situation, as long as the people involved are religious.

I am out of here

โ€˜I am out of hereโ€™ is very informal. Itโ€™s usually used when talking to friends. Itโ€™s a casual way of saying that you are leaving the place. Because itโ€™s so informal and casual itโ€™s best used with people you know well.

Good night

This means โ€˜Good night,โ€™ and itโ€™s very common. This can be used with anyone, anywhere, as long as itโ€™s night. There is no special occasion or situation where you canโ€™t use it. Well, except when itโ€™s morning or afternoon.ย 

Farewell

โ€˜Farewellโ€™ is a very special way of saying Bye. It means that youโ€™re not sure if you will see this person again. โ€˜Farewellโ€™ is meant to say you with the person safe travels, and that you hope they are well in life after they leave. Itโ€™s like a goodbye but for an indefinite amount of time.ย 

Letโ€™s keep in touch

โ€˜Letโ€™s keep in touchโ€™ is also used in a specific case. This is like saying Bye with โ€˜Farewell,โ€™ but you want to know how the person is doing after they leave. You donโ€™t know if you will see them again, but you want to know how they are doing regardless.

Ciao

โ€˜Ciaoโ€™ comes from Italian, and itโ€™s used in many languages across the world in the same form. Itโ€™s a very casual and informal way of saying Bye. You can use it in any situation, as long as youโ€™re familiar with the person.ย 

See you tomorrow

โ€˜See you tomorrowโ€™ is a way of saying Bye to someone you know you will see the next day. Itโ€™s fairly informal, so donโ€™t use it with your boss, but itโ€™s okay with friends or co-workers. Any situation is fine, from work all the way to a bar.

Some informal ways to say hello:

  • How are you?
  • Whatโ€™s up?
  • Whatโ€™s going on?
  • How are things?
  • Hey!
  • Hi.
  • Howdy
