which greeting do you often use is it "whats up dude/bro" or "hello my friend" and is there culture stuff about them?
| i notice americans love to say whats up bro/dude while indians and middle easterners love to say hello my friend meanwhile we filipinos just say hi most of the time |
| i either use hi or hello, nothing too complicated. |

| i just say hi or hey, i don't say hello that much |

| I just say "Assalamualaikum" to my Muslim brothers and sisters.Other than that just "Hi".I personally find it cringe when someone says Dude irl. |

| Never in my life have I greeted somebody seriously with a "bro" I will say "hello dude" a lot, but only to my niece and nephews. For me it's more like "yo" or "hey" and quite often your typical British "awright" but without the accent I often see Americans try and imitate XD |
| I use: "bună", "salut", "ce faci" between friends and people I know, it basically means "good", "salutations" and "how do you do" |

| I usually just say «Yo» or »what´s up» or »how´re you doing» to people around my age, I only use «Hi»/«Hello» to talk to older people |

| Ironically i would use "hello friend" but Yo and wassup is just so much easier and much more friendly (and comforting?) than saying "hello friend". |
 |
| feels weird to put a possessive pronoun to it so id go with sup bro instead of sup my dude |
| Mostly just say, “Alright”. If it’s someone I know I’ll probably say, “Hey! (Name) I haven’t seen you in time (slang for in a while) how’ve you been?” To which they might reply, “I know, man’s / you’ve been ghost fam.” (More slang). |
| I usually say hi/hello to non-close friends but for friends, I usually just say whatever |
 |
| I say Yo or wassup. I am the coolest person ever |

I was in UK before and had some girl say "you alright?" to me and I though it was an actual question her seeing me being uncomfortable and only many years later learned it's used as a greeting so I dont know which it was anymore ...im so lost lol |
| To answer yuor question, I use 'sup!!! Ni***!!!'. |
| Dude is very common in California. I also like how it sounds, like duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude its a good filler word were your really tired, thats why hippies say it |

It is asked as a question. It can be seen as rhetorical but usually people just respond with a brief, "Yeah good, you?" or "Not too bad." or "Could be better." sort of replies. Most of the time if you start going into a lengthy tale about how things actually are (as I often make the mistake of doing) people start to either get uncomfortable and try to make an excuse to get away or they will pretend to give a shit when they don't. But every now and then someone is genuinely interested to know if you are alright or not. You can tell they are interested because they will keep asking you more questions about it without a condescending or sarcastic tone and they may well share some examples of things that they are going through or have gone through or a story about a person they know. |
| In formal letters I prefer to use "Добрый день!", with acquaintances I use "привет". Actually I just noticed that I do not greeting my close friends (Am I a bad person?), irl I may say "рада тебя видеть", in telegram I may start with random topic. |

They are called phatic expressions. I found about it from a Tom Scott video I assume because she didnt say it to me right away when we met it might have been a sincere question. .....but it also may have been a delayed greeting because she was in a group of friends. She had an accent (or what i assumed to be one) different from others in the area too was really hard for me to understand her sometimes. >.> oh well at least I know I gave a response that shouldnt have confuse her lol |
| I used to say a simple hi//hello but now I’ve gotten used to saying hey man |
| I don't say "what's up," and I certainly don't call anyone "dude," "bro" or anything like that, because I hate those terms. If I walk up to someone, I'll probably just say "hey." If I'm asking a stranger for help or advice, I would say "excuse me," in a courteous tone. I never use honorifics or any "term" to refer to a person. |
 |
| @traed phatic expressions, ay. Thanks for the informative video too. |
| The one I like to use is "N'aber lan dalyarak" which means something like "What's crackin', dickhead" in my language. Calling people dickhead in here is totally fine. |

| I usually go with the trusty "yo". Somethings I'll mix it up with a "hey" or "hi". |
 |
| I usually say "Hello" or "Greetings" when talking in English. I abominate informality in all languages. "What's up" sounds awful. "Hello my friend" needs a comma. |

| "hey guys!" or "yo!" To my friends "Hello" or "excuse me, hello" to strangers or more formal times |

| I say Marhaba. I'm so polite that I even say Marhabalar sometimes, which means Marhaba (x2).

| yo to my friends. Hihi to strangers. |
| yo isn't strictly a greeting and can mean more than 100 different things depending which is why it's cool, half the time if you're greeting someone with their guard down at all words aren't even necessary to begin with, we give these people skin, or hugs on the slip side if you've decided on keeping proper running all day every day then you almost have to say something to people every time you cross paths ive found, this is boring and borders on humans evolving in reverse imo, i ask these people how's it going |
| I usually say "what's up" or "hey." If I say "hey, bro...," it's probably because I've forgotten your name. |
| I don't think I've ever greeted someone first, at least not within recent memory. But when people do, I usually say "hey." |
