Yo. It's cringe AF for a pot-bellied, mid-50's white dude to say but it's kinda automatic.

Probably worse in my native French.

I'm more of a Mrs Doubtfire "Helllllooooooo" type of person.

Heya

[–] Chai@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 months ago

It varies according to the time of the day and or who I'm greeting. I think I mostly say 'good morning' etc.

[–] selinson@mander.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

"Huhu" (I'm from Germany)

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 2 points 5 months ago

Usually some version of “Hey!”

[–] cradac@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago

I'm a more sinister, third thing (haiiiiiii!)

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 5 months ago

[nod]..... and if i really like you [nod up]

[–] apotheotic 2 points 5 months ago

If I am not familiar with the person, I'm a "hiya/heya" person.

If it's someone I'm familiar with/am glad to see, it's a super sweet "Hellloooooo!"

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 2 points 5 months ago

"Hey, guys"

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 1 points 5 months ago

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good day.

[–] stelelor@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

'Allo-'allo is my default greeting for most people I know personally. It's bilingual (English-French) without devolving into the soulless Bonjour-Hi of customer service.

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 months ago

I'm something else. At least that's what they tell me.

Irl I'm a "good [time of day]" person

When texting I have the habit of initiating conversations with "a."

A habit that has metastised to some close friends and family members, which does please me

Edit: Lemmy ate my time of day

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 1 points 5 months ago

"你好" / "好", "早", "怎么样", "吃饭了没有" and other expressions depending on context and mood here.

[–] l_b_i@yiffit.net 1 points 5 months ago

hello, or greetings.

[–] shikitohno@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I stick to "How are ye?" most of the time I say something, otherwise just a nod or a wave.

[–] andrew_s@piefed.social 1 points 5 months ago

I tend to use the version of 'alright?' that's not actually a question.

[–] SteveXVII@pawb.social 1 points 5 months ago

Hi, or when I am speaking dutch: hi or hoi.
