italian= ciao hi Buongiorno hello

btw all these countries say hello however if u want to know how to say hello in austrian, french, maltese etc that is another question

Answer 2

the only one still unanswered i guess: maltese:

it's either:

'bongu' - good morning

'caw' - goodbye

'hello' or 'hi' - meaning as in english

'x'ghandna?!' - means 'what do we have?!' - for children

'aw ras' - means 'hey head!' - between macho men

'aw sweetie!!!' (+hug and kiss on cheek) - for girly girls

'ara lil min qala l-bahar!' - look what the sea brought today! - for an enemy or someone who is not so welcomed

there are others in use, but are best left unsaid.  they are not for the eyes of people on this site anyway.

to clarify again, all i mentioned were in Maltese.

Answer 3

Portugal : Olá

I'm portuguese (:

Answer 4

Austria: Hallo

Belgium: Hallo or Salut (or the dutch version - they have three languages there)

Germany: Hallo

France: Salut

Uk: Hello :D

erm... I can't think of the rest...in norway they say Hi - if that helps... (danish, norwegian and swedish are 70% mutually intelligible so they'll understand that too I'd imagine...)

oh wait spanish is hola...

Answer 5

Ara sħaba!!Orrajt hij?:)

I'm Maltese and so I will tell you how to say 'hello' in the Maltese language which is our mother tongue language.

There are alot of ways to say 'hello' in Maltese but it all depends on the situation and with whom your speaking.The ones that my friend sħaba above me,mentioned are correct. :)

Others not mentioned:

Aw ħij =Kinda hi in an informal way.

Aw pupa=Said between close girly friends.

Aw man!!=Hmm..like you might already realised...said between tough guys :)

There are others,which I won't mention.Which aren't so umm nice to put here but those are used when you know a person very well.
