Here in Kenya, we say Jambo as one way of saying hello. I know in Thai you say sah wah dee. How do you say it?

Here in eastern North Carolina (USA), I say, "Hey, how are you? I'm fine, hope you are too." Or if it's more than one person, I say, "Hey, y'all."

actually even our "mabuhay" and "kumusta ka" is not the exact word for Hello.
