Hola a todos!

Here’s just a few ways to say Hi in Spanish - aside from just ‘hola’ :wink:

  1. Hola, cĂłmo estĂĄs - Hey, how are you?
  2. Ey quĂ© tal - similar to ‘hi, how’s it going?’
  3. Buenos días – Good morning
  4. Buenas tardes – Good afternoon
  5. Buenas noches - Good evening

Do you know any other ways to say hello in Spanish? :eyes:

One thing that I love in Spanish is when you introduce to someone!

Basically the first person who introduce themselves should say “encantado/a” and the second one should answer “mucho gusto”.

I think that it’s a very nice way to greet someone :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’d love to use it with my Spanish speaking friends but I have no idea how to pronounce it :laughing:

I never studied Spanish in the past as I took German at school, having the question mark at the beginning AND the end was unexpected

Mainly “hola” but you may hear other expressions depending on the region and formality. Examples include:

  1. “Buenas”
  2. “Buenos días”/ “Buenas tardes”/ “Buenas noches”
  3. “¡Quibo!”
  4. “¿QuĂ© mĂĄs?”

ÂĄQuibo! is like short of ÂżQuĂ© hubo? (What’s been going on?)
“¿QuĂ© mĂĄs?” literally means “What else?”

But these expressions are often used among friends for informal greetings.

That’s interesting, I never heard of “Quibo” or “¿QuĂ© mĂĄs?”!

It makes me think of Italian when we ask “com’é?”, which literally means “how is it?” and it’s mainly used among friends (usually in the North of Italy though).

Are there any specific region greetings among the one you mentioned? Or are they used everywhere?

Being from PerĂș I would say those are used in a specific country. e.g.

  1. “¿QuĂ© mĂĄs?” I heard it in Ecuador
    Here we can also say “Hablaa!”, a common saying to say when you see a friend
