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.
 
well i say wagwan sapnin :)

which u can tell i use alot of slng lingo
 
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 :okay:

In kurdish...we say "Chawaanee", which is basicall "Hi" and "How Are you" put together. Its a dual-purpose word :P

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?
 
:sl:, 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.

Namaskaram

If i meet ma punju frends its gonna be Kidaa
If its gonna be ma sis, Oiii wassup Manzzzz
But if its gonna be ma best frend shaz
"Deiiiii howwww u daaaa!!!"

In Denmark we say,
Hva'så? (Whatsup)
Hvordan har du det? (How are you?)
Hvordan går det? (Hows it going?)
