greeting in different languages

[WANNEBE24LIVE]

Why on eurth do i get this vid recommended. Yes i have a mexican You Tube friend.

[DangerWrap]

Thai - สวัสดี [Spell : Sawasdee]

[elensule]

As for Russian, it's Privet, not Plivet :-))). And it's kind of "hi", you can't say this when meeting either a person you don't know or if it's an official meeting.

[MrDragontamer2009]

Are you Japanese? :) She is cute. Konnichiwa.

[rockdudeguy18]

I was watching music videos and I ended up on this? Oh, Youtube...

[KevWebsz]

lol ni hao kai lan

[TechnoDude147]

and you say hola very clear :) thumbs up for that XD

[TechnoDude147]

actually,in Puerto Rico,we say hello? when we pick up the phone,instead of saying hola :P just to know,puertorican culture :),ooooh and sometimes we say alo? when we pick up the phone,just like in USSR or in France :)

[Bengbusen]

In soviet Russia greeting says YOU!

[wowgurl5]

Indian people say hello on the phone... and namaste in real life.

[1rigoberto11]

mexican went call we said bueno but went we meet the person with say que pedo o que onda wey

[tamirraza]

in spanish we said:

Mexico: bueno?

Spain: diga? ó dime?

anyother country is Aló?

I say Aló all the time!!!!

[nikkilovesdustie]

American acents onthe phone can be prety funny.

[sweiland75]

Canada's population will be majority Chinese, in about 20 years. Don't worry about learning any languages, other than Chinese.

[ShadyLady132]

Hispanic people sometime answer the phone with  baño

[hellokiitynerd]

@ShadyLady132

dosent that mean toilet ?

[ShadyLady132]

@hellokiitynerd No my computer auto corrected it it should be buenos días

[Artsev]

Ну и кто куда пливет? =))

[DannyLaToR]

hahaha!!!! at russian in stead of privet shi says plivet, i'm under the chiar ROFL

[nunocastro313]

oh btw for japanese isnt konnichi wa used in noon, konban wa evening and ohayo in the morning?

[Yoshiki570]

@nunocastro313 yes we do maybe she met people in noon only

[Katchess]

ahhh you're so cute! thanks for the information. i knew most of these, but didn't know russian or a couple others. neat!

[WoundedShinobi]

ur so cute xD

hello is differ when off phone n on phone

ははは

＼(^o^)／

[nunocastro313]

in portugal on the phone we say "tô" abreviation for "estou" or "tô sim" but when meeting face to face he got alot of diff aways like "ola" (very similar to spanish) or "boas" thats like saying good morning or evening but without the last part and can b used in any time of the day or sometimes we use the brazilian gretting "oi".

[sparrow169]

In BULGARIA we say when we see face to face "Zdraveite" or "Kak e?"-The first means Hello,the second one is What's up.When we pick up the phone we say:"Da","Alo" or "Da molya".The first is "Yes",the second is Alo and the third is "Yes,please". :)

[PaulSLambeth]

I tend to say "'yelllow?" on the phone, while I'd never say that in person for fear of looking stupid. A lot of people also say their equivalent of "yes?", which I find to be a bit rude :P

[cezarsirbu]

Penny Market!?

[Klopek90]

try say: Dzień dobry ;p

its polish

[vipersrules]

"Alo" is still used in many European countries, not just French.

[SCOTTYBEE4JC]

very informative, Thank You :)

[Teardrop004]

Good job! I'm spanish!

Hey, Spanish speak spanish! Mexican's only a variation, I like variations... But South-american spanish is really different because american grammar has been introduced on it. Well, its too different. We say "Hola" or "Buenos días, buenas tardes, buenas noches..." or "Buenas" or "Qué hay" face to face, and on the phone we say "sí" or "Diga" or "dime"...

Thanks for your video, I enjoyed too much ^^

[TheTayzerdbaby]

She could not handle the "R'' sound in privet, because Asians pronounce the ''L'' like an ''R''. The true ''R'' sound gets lost in translation. Just like UCRA. University of California at Ros Angeles.

[TheTayzerdbaby]

Mexicans say, "BUENO", on the phone. The Spanish speak weird spanish, and the English speak weird english.

[NASSIRNO]

Arabic :Hala or marhaba.

Both are used .

[videoaddict1]

NIce, I like this piece! I think I also answer differently on the phone, I say hello like "Yep" I think I'm much friendlier in person :)

[gum1masticator]

Actually, for Spanish it varies depending on what country you're from. For example, some of my Mexican friends say "bueno" whereas my mother and i(salvadorian) would either say "aló" or "Sí." In Spain i think they use "diga" or "dime"

[Freodeo]

i love your canadian accent

[weirdcanbgood2]

in greek it's "Γεια σασ" it is pronounced "geia sas"

[armansuleimenov]

Nice vid! It's understandable that she can't pronounce the "r" sound as in Russian "привет" ("privet"), since it's very difficult for people whose native languages lack this feature :P

Good job anyway!

[DJVelectri]

Swedish = hej

[snitzcore]

jaförfan

[callelindberg]

@DJVelectri tja

[Snower114]

@DJVelectri Norweigan = Hei YAAA! I'm swedish! xD

[djollyozz]

@DJVelectri or Hallå

[mezhciemniece]

In Latvian we say Chau or Sveiki when we meet each other, but on the phone we say "Hallo?" In more of a questioning tone....

[oOHousetimeOo]

[davie1120]

[dethroned81]

in morocco when we meet face to face we say SALAM, and in the phone some ppl say SALAM and others say ALO.

in poland where I m actully living, when they meet they say CZESZT (prity hard to read but in english u say it like this TCHEECHT) and in the phone the say SOHHAM. ;)

[turtleblackout]

In Persian we say Salam or alo

[Marriuz]

It's also common to say 'dígame' in Spanish when answering a phone call.

[babbocke]

[Masterzy]

In poland we say: wypierdalaj

[betis73]

Greet from Ireland!

[dayron25]

[letranger1217]

a chinese / canadian accent. ive never heard this before.

[sweiland75]

@letranger1217 Half the population of Toronto are Chinese immigrants so you can't miss them!

[XxBirdsofdeathXx]

well actually in Spanish,

most people actually generally say "bueno" or other formal greetings, rather then "ola". :D

but I do like your videos!

and thank you for being so informative and cultured! :P

[jangguemfan]

in nepal, we say namaste, jadau, namaskar, hi, and other things when we meet and hello when we call. if the other line says hello, the person who calls says kodalo. just for fun. (kodalo mweaning a tool used for gardening.

[SawIndy]

Cool. Here in Ireland we say hi but our native language is : Dia Duit [sounding it out its like Gee a ditch] On the phone its the same :P

Nobody uses irish really outside of school [we learn it in school as a second language] but around the west coast some people only use irish [not many do this] although there are schools you can go to called gailscoils that only allow you talk irish. after lessons in the morning of irish you have activitys for the rest of the day. You stay for 2/3 weeks.

[RandomnessMK]

Konichiwa and Namaste ahhh i LOVE JAPANA i know namaste has nothing to do with Japan but who cares!! lol

[javiman]

OMG youre so beautiful!!! and its so awesome you make those blogs!! thank you!! aaah by the way how you answear on the phone in spanish is "Bueno"

[abadiqaisy123]

i like ur smile

[Hedzsi88]

I love your accent when you speak Egnlish. Nice vid by the way:-)))

[yashil17]

In present Persian/Farsi we say "salam" when one meets someone else face-to-face, but in the phone we say "allo" like the French, because they had Iran for not a long time, we have lots of French words in Farsi.

In the TRUE Persia/Iranian language we say "Doroud" when one meets someone else, and on phone we say "doroud bar soma" (greetings to u) and "Bedroud" is gutenhaugen, godbye. i beg of u to not call Iran "middle east" when refering to, please call us "East Asian/ E.Asian) Thank you.

[laneydavey]

Max has short man disease, HE is a short fuckings queer he likes to listen to the tv quiet in the day and really loud at night, Fuck you max

[roberto3215623]

your very pretty

[hade5]

In south america (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay), when we answer the phone, we say "Aló" like french (allô) xD

Good video.

[roberto3215623]

becuz everyone in agrentina is from french decent

[Rubyscoobydoo]

Je pense que vous avez dit tout cela très précisément. Oh, et par la façon dont, dans la s'exprimant en français ici. En fait, im-américain. J'aime à utiliser les traducteurs. Aussi, j'ai été voulant ma mère de m'apprendre quelques français et c'est de cette manière elle enseigne-moi. C'est plutôt cool et il est vraiment cool de parler dans des langues différentes.

[erjiushier]

I am spanish, I say "si, digame" or "a ver" or "¿quién es?" when I answer the phone. But most of the people say "hola" as you explain here.

me gusta tu video. saludos.

[Angemon38]

in spanish, when we answer the phone, we say bueno

but a few say hola, i say bueno

but good video!

5stars! :)

[mirandadeaton11]

in japanese i thought that they say mushie-mushie or however you spell it and my friend thought they said canishie-waaa or however yu spell it

[RyoukaHatake]

On telephone they say mushi-mushi, when they greet in person, they say konnichi-wa...

[yashil17]

seeing that u live in Deustchland, i just wanted to know if u know, but why is Deutcherland refered to as "Germany" or "Allmande", sorry to bother u, but this question was/is on my mind for a long time, thank you

[RyoukaHatake]

Actually almost every nation is called differently in different languages :D

So "Deutschland" is "Germany" in English and "Allemagne" in French (or "doitsu" in Japanese.)

It just depends on the language :D

(In the past, around the time of the Roman Empire, "Deutschland", or rather northern parts of it and parts of Scandinavia, were called "Germanien" so I think that's where "Germany" comes from. Though I don't really know where "Allmagne" or similar names come from D:)

I hope it helped you :)

[yashil17]

1. so Germans call themselves "Deutsche".

2. Allemagne is French and Persian for Deutschland, but i have seen Allemagne on a Deutsch map once, but thanks

4. so "Doitsu" is Japanese for Deutsch, i think that's almost the same as the actual name i guess that is because Japan is an Aryan country as vell.

5. so in the ancient era, northern parts of Deutchland and Scandanaiva (part of Deutschland were called Germanien, wow, were did that come to play on the chess board?

[yashil17]

Thank u for u helped me alot, i grow great fond of ur knowledge and logic u surely have a great quantity of.

so were in Deutschland do u live in?

[RyoukaHatake]

Glad I could help you :)

I live in the south west in the federal state "Rheinland-Pfalz".

I think it's the Rhineland Palatinate in English. I live near Koblenz, the town with the "German Corner" or however you would call it :D (Deutsches Eck) The Rhine and an other river (the "Mosel" or "Moselle") flow together at that point.

But that's pinpoint lol :D

[yashil17]

ahh, the famous Rhine river, that's brilliant, u live in such a small area in the wide masculin Deutschland, that's what it seems to me, so why do u live there or Deutschland at all?

[RyoukaHatake]

Yeah but I somehow like to live here :D

Why I live here? That's a good question, ask my ancestors xD

I've been living here since I was born^^

[yashil17]

wow, your ancestors, then i guess ur full of Aryan blood, and i don't mean it to be mostly Deutsch, i mean Japanese

[RyoukaHatake]

Ah no :D

I'm not Japanese at all. I wish I was though :DD

I mean, my "ancestors" are all German. My nick is Japanese because I love Japan, haha :D

And I can speak a little bit. But unfortunately I have no Japanese blood in my veins :D

Though I'm not sure if I'm completely German. I have a Polish surname. I don't know the whole story but it's probably due to the world wars.

By "Ask my ancestors" I meant ask them why I live here and not elsewhere in Germany ;)

Complicated, I know, sorry xD

[yashil17]

oh wow, i thought u were Japanese the whole time so ur not the same person in the video, and ur youtube name is Japanese, so where were u born, since u r a mix of lots of European nations

[RyoukaHatake]

Oh sorry for misleading you ^^" :D But which video do you speak of...? :O

I'm born in Germany too^^ Like I said, I've been living here since I was born ;)

[yashil17]

oh no problem, i like Deutscher ppl alot, after Deutscher ppl r my Arian brothers and sisters, either way i meant this video featuring this Japanese lady who's name is Sherry apparently, and i for some reason thought that u were her, how illogical of me.

[RyoukaHatake]

That's nice ^_^

Ah~, no problem mistakes do happen :D Actually I first thought you were her, too xD

But then I noticed it "Oh no, wait :O That's not the same nick, is it? Haha :D"

[yashil17]

oh really, well i guess my name does look kind of Japanese well i think, but it's Iranian, but what made u think that i was Japanese?

[RyoukaHatake]

It's not that I thought you're Japanese but because you asked about the languages and so on, I thought you were interested since you're the one who made the video :D

Though I figured I was wrong later ^^"

Can I ask you something as well?

Your profile says you're from Canada.

So you are Iranian but live in Canada?

[yashil17]

oh i see,

ya, i was born in Iran but i live in Toronto for 10 years now.

so in Deutschland do u like football?

[RyoukaHatake]

Wow that's a long time :)

Do you mean American Football or soccer? :O

Sorry, haha, for me it can be both :D"

American Football, well I don't know much about it ^^"

And soccer... I used to like it but I've lost interest in it :(

The sport (with leagues, championships and so on) is all about money anyway... like almost everything in the world.

I kinda like to play it though^^

[yashil17]

yes it's been, i had my exams and i couldn't respond to anyone, i appologize.

oh you are Deutsch you should know this,

i mean does American footbal even exist in Deutscherland? like Americans r so stupid they call football soccer and they call american football(rugby) football , in which one dosn't use their foot at all.

oh well i guess u r right about it being about money, but it is fun to play and watch the leuges

[RyoukaHatake]

No problem, exams are more important after all :)

I think it's not really popular here... Though I think it does exist somewhere, haha... :D

And I kinda get confused all the time about that football thing, that's why I asked ;)

[yashil17]

it's not popular in Germany? really?

anyways, no problem about the football thing, i guess i have to be more specific, since i'm in Canada and u know the greeks

[vaak007]

"Allemangne" and "Alemania" and words similar to this all derive from the Germanic Allemannen Tribe which includes mostly south west Germany and Switzerland. Some languages, like France, picked up that name because it borders mostly to the Allemannen-Tribe in the South West. Italy, Spain and probably also Persia obtained the name by French influences. Allemannen is low German and means "all the men".

[electricnovi]

for a related topic.. check this out..

if you're on facebook.. search for my name Fessy Rajab

and go to the notes section.. look for the one titled.. "What you say when you pick up the phone if you were in.."

[electricnovi]

that was really cute.. thanx !

i got this idea this evening to make a note of all the different ways of answering the phone in different languages and cultures !!

but i guess someone else thought about it :)

i'll place a link once im done.. so keep on the look out :P

[akemiluo]

Interesting video!

Cute accent when you spoke French, by the way ;)

[dikitanci]

nop... russians say priviet not pliviet..:) and also russians say on the phone ''allo' but it sounds more like ''alyo'':) xx gr8 work btw... if u r interested in greek we say 'parakalo' when picking the phone up, and ''yia su'' when we meet.:)x

[TheNewNikoSoprano]

some Greek people say "ne" and I've heard people even say "embros" also

[dikitanci]

yup ur right:) ne actually means'' yes'', and embros means''go ahead'' , but parakalo is the formal way of answering the phone.

[teteiy]

Bonjour :p

[shaikai]

"bueno" is the phone-answer-word in Mexico. In Colombia, it is aló" (like French, interestingly).

[DIRECTORperson225]

konichiwa! Hajime mashite, watashi wa Cole desu

[threeda]

on the phone we arabs

if it is not formal we say "ALO" like the french

but if it is formal we say " marhaba" or the islamic greeting " alsalam alaikom "

[Lockerrssx]

this is cool^^

[shinnoksspire]

me acuerdo cuando me lo encontre a mi chochera el cesar, detras de la ecenografia con doña guaraca.

[EASVAS]

that was helpful. i think i might learn japanese... someday...

[boneheadshinoubi]

its not that hard you just need to learn the basic sounds and then the sentence structure after that its just about learning the words that you should use and the forms that come with them!

[zammarock]

wow thanks, i learned something new today from watching your vid. your awesome

[neogen10]

Also spanish speakers answer the phone with "bueno" even though it means good in english.

[REPRESENTANDO]

alot of words mean for different things depending on how you use the word stupid ass.

[soccerfan2001]

nee haa? in chinise ?

[pokettosnorlax]

NI HAO

[TubeYou2848]

japanese people not say konnichiwa for first greeting, it is hajimemashite

[cookiemonxchu]

but hajimemashite is how do you do. so i think hello is konichiwa in japanese.just different cultures. =)

[KRISTENAM2]

Spanish onn the phone they sometimes say talk to me or dame

[doots07]

let me add something in italy face to face is "ciao" and on the phone is "pronto"

[SPAMV3]

Brilliant :D

[Bira8Fehera]

[kikyoreborn626]

In Russian when they greet in person they say "Zdrastvuitye" Which is "Hello", or they say "Privet'" Which is Hi. On the phone they say Allo xP

But you said plivet, or it sounded that way..

That was pretty cool though!!

[feather123pillow]

are u chiinese?

[vctpmc]

Hey, interesting video. There's just one thing I would like you to know. Spanish native speakers also use the word: "Bueno?" (literally "good") when they pick up the phone. As a matter of fact, I think saying "Hola" on the phone is used mainly by people from Spain. But I liked your video though.

[aceangel21]

very sexy

[rrggusername]

An Nyoung

[atari1055]

Nice. In my experience Spanish speakers from Spain will say 'diga' or 'dime' as a phone greeting.

[thereaper6311]

your sexy

[RonandHerm]

I've just started learning Korean and that's all I know. First I'm going to learn the pinyin then the charters. aha.

What language do you speak??

[Nuriona]

That was nice. But Spanish-speaking people don't say "Hola" when answering the phone. They say "Sí" or "Diga" in Spain, "Bueno" in Mexico and "Aló" in South America

[sherry8782]

ohhh thx for correcting

in Canada, some spanish speakers say hola tho, =)

[guitarplayer7694]

[lotus111]

[arimoran]

umm, not all spanish speaking people say hola on the phone. I'm Venezuelan and we say "alo" when we pick up the phone...

[zhjiln]

ur accent is really unique...

[cheesepuffsama]

sherry! good job. :)

[liggettusa]

In Turkey, when answering the phone, they use either of 2 greetings. "Alo?" for hello; or "Efendim?" for sir. In person, there are many ways, depending on if you are the guest or the host. But on the street, the most common are "Merhaba" for hello or "Selam Alaikum" which means may peace be upon you.

I am enjoying your info vids.Keep up the good work. :)

[DasEnde2006]

I think in Germany it is also the Same on Telefon and Face to Face. But in Germany what is ecatly said, depends also a little bit on, in which Part of Germany Your acutally are or from which Part of Germany You and the Person You speak to, come from.. But a simple "Hallo!" should also work.

[sherry8782]

is it really?

hahaha thx for the info =D
