    wagwan
    wassap ma (insert racist term here)
    'sup
    'yo
    bonjour

    All of them are slang methods of saying hi. The last one is French but not slang.

    I usually say hi if I know the person. Otherwise it's salamu alaikum.

    Re: How do u greet people in ur own languages?

    In Malaysia? The people dont say " Assalamu alaikum" as how it should be pronounced, instead it comes out something like " Sam Lay Kum" lol hehehe...

    When I'm greeting my aunts/uncles I usually say Assalamu'alaikum followed by Apa Khabar (insert name of aunt or uncle ) followed by the traditional hand kissing.

    With other people I just smile....I'm not much of a talker kay:

    Traditionally it is, but we don't kiss other people's hand except the aunt or uncle or parents or grand, great grand etc.

    But sis, I'll try my best to say the salam correctly.

    As for me I normally will ask "Sihat?" which has the same meaning with Apa Khabar means are u in good health? followed by "Dah Makan?" means have you had your meal?

    Re: How do u greet people in ur own languages?

    , sisters and brothers.

    In Finnland there are two major languages, swedish and finnish.
    I of course say assalam aleikum, but to non-muslim friends it is:

    Hej, hur mår du? (s) = Hi, wazzup/ how are you doing?

    Moi, miten mene? (f) = Hi, wazzup?

    Hyvä päivä! (f) = Good day!

    God dag! (s) = Good day!

    Ma salama.

    You can go to many places to learn arabic now.
    al-Baseera Institute for Arabic Language is very good. They have teachers from all over the Arab World.
