2018/06/22
Most of the time, I greet my students with a hearty ‘Hello!’ and ‘How are you?’ at the beginning of class, followed by a “Goodbye!” or “See you!” at the end.
But in English, there are so many other great ways to say these things, especially when hanging out with friends.
Instead of ‘Hello’ and ‘How Are You?’, try…
- Hi
- Hiya
- Hey
- Hey there
- Howdy
- Holla
- Good morning
- ‘morning!
- Good afternoon
- G’day
- Good evening
- How’s it going?
- What’s up?
- Sup?
- Sup dude (men only)
- What’s happening?
- What’s going on?
- Hola*
- Yo
- What’s good?
- How have you been?
- How are things?
- What’s new?
- What have you been up to?
- Hey man (men only)
- How’s life?
- How’s your day going?
- Long time no see
Instead of ‘Goodbye’ or ‘See you’, try…
- Bye!
- Bye bye
- Good night
- See you later
- Talk to you later
- Catch you later
- Later
- Later alligator
- Have a good day
- Have a good night
- Have a good one
- Adios*
- Take care
- Take it easy
- So long
- Peace
- Peace out
- I’m out
- I’m off
- See you next time
- I’ve got to get going
- I ‘ve gotta go/jet/dip/bounce/split/roll/head out/hit the road
- Good seeing you
- Good talking with you
- I’m outta (out of) here
- I’m going to call it a day/night
- See you on the flip side
- See you on the flippity flop
*Spanish, but sometimes (American) English speakers say it for fun
