hello!

Da Alba Forni @albaforni1

English, just like many other languages in the world, has many different ways of greeting people or saying " Hello".
L'inglese, come molte altre lingue del mondo, presenta diversi modi per salutare le persone.

In English we have standard greetings:
In inglese esistono alcuni saluti "standard":

Here are examples of other ways that we can say " Hello " and sound more native when speaking. Look at the following conversation between four different people and the different ways they greet each other.

Paul: Guys, this is my girlfriend Janet.
Paul: Ragazzi, questa è la mia fidanzata Janet.

So, as you can see, there are many different ways of greeting people.

Remember that.

* " Hey", " Hi" and " Hiya" are all friendly and informal alternatives to " Hello ".

* " I can't complain " means you have nothing bad to say, everything is fine. You will often hear the grammatically incorrect "Can't complain".

* " How's it going?" can be used to ask how someone is or instead of " Hello ".

* " How are things?" is an informal way of asking " How is everything in your life?" or " How are you? " People often use the grammatically incorrect "How's things?".

* " What's up?" is a very informal way of saying " Hello ".

* " Are you well?" is another way of saying " How are you? "

I hope you have found this interesting. Now you can practice all your greetings the next time you meet an English speaker.
