H is How I say Hello

Hello, Friends - Today's letter is H. From the Formal "How do You Do?" to the informal "Howdy," the casual "Hello" to the even more casual "Hi," we greet people with H on a regular basis in English. But it isn't just English. Many languages greet people with an H. So, whether you say Hello or Hola, Hallo or Hei, Halla, Halo, Hej, Hujambo, or just plain Howdy, it's good to see you here today. Good to have a chance to say Hi. How do you say Hello?

    I say "hoi" or "hi", when I am in English speaking country.

    When I see the eye doctor, I say "Eye, Doctor!" The response is always "Eye!" :-)

    jag längtar efter sommaren och har därför valt denna bild. En varm och skön midsommar 2012 då mina "hjärtan" firade sommaren hos mig. En hästskjuts ute på landet fick bli mitt val. Ha en bra fortsatt vecka :)

    In Israel the proper way is to say Shalom, but lately "hi" is making inroads.

    Great intro, Troy! My "hello" depends on the person to whom I'm speaking. But a great big HOWDY to you today. Have a great one!

    Amazing isn't it? You're right, didn't realize it until now. H is a friendly word. Like what I realized during the E round, lots of E words - Exit, Entrance, Elevator, Emergency Exit are all E words used in Establishments. :)
