Brighten Ray I.	Hello April 09, 2006 5:52 PM Hello=konnichiwa Hi, Hey=(maybe similar to) yah/yoh, but ladies do not use these words, so in this point i could say we do not have the word exactly correspond to Hi/Hey, when i think girls can say Hi/Hey in English. [ send green star]

Edge H.	Another Finnish, quite literal August 20, 2007 11:44 AM Here's how I greet people I know, or salespeople in shops: "Terve!" Literally it means "healthy" but in common usage it means an emphatic "well met". If you want to be a bit more whimsical or archaic, you could say (as I often do) "Tervehdys!" which literally means "A Greeting!" [ send green star] [ accepted]
