Hi, I'm Gwen from the U.S. I was wondering if everyone would mind telling what country you're from... and how to say "hi" or "hello" in your native language....? It's nice to meet everyone! :)

I am from India. When we great each other we say 'NAMESTEY' (a gesture of bowing with folded hands) to each other.

Other slang answers from the older generation in the Midwestern U.S. could be "Hey", "What's up?", "How ya doing?".

I guess in the state of Indiana, our greeting could be: "Hoosier Daddy?" :)

I am from India. So, in India we greet others by a respectful gesture of folding both our hands together and bowing down by saying "namaste". So namaste everyone...
