I say howdy, though that makes some people mistakenly assume I’m from the south.
19ReplyHappens to me all the time. Then if I append a y'all, outside of Texas, it's game over.
8ReplyI'm in Indiana, and "Howdy y'all" flies perfectly fine here.

Yo. It's cringe AF for a pot-bellied, mid-50's white dude to say but it's kinda automatic.
Probably worse in my native French.
12ReplyIts either that or Hey. Weirdly, hey is my more formal greeting I use on the corpos at work. Yo is for people I’m cool with.

I'm a "Moin" person. Northern German for ... Every conceivable greeting phrase on any time of day, night or apocalypse. And a complete conversation, too.
8ReplyI’m a hello, but I noticed my manager is a “hey how’s it’s going?” person. I asked him how many people actually tell him how things are going, and he said very few do. If we’re walking together, we now make note of the people who do or don’t answer.
7ReplyAs a south German living in the north I like to throw a few "Servus" around now and then. Keeps people on their toes, never know just what to expect

6ReplyI live in colombia and i just learned a couple new ways to say hi that aren’t just “hola”
You can say:
¿Que mas? means what’s up?
¿Como vamos¿ means how are we doing?
¿Bien o que? means good or what?
All of them are greetings.

I usually go with good morning, regardless of time of day
4ReplyIt varies according to the time of the day and or who I'm greeting. I think I mostly say 'good morning' etc.
4Reply"Hey, guys"
4ReplyHeya
3ReplyHowdy for me.

Hi hi, or hoi hoi in Dutch.
It looks weird when I actually write it down though. 3ReplyI'm more of a Mrs Doubtfire "Helllllooooooo" type of person.
3ReplyDepends:
"Hello" or "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening" - express deference or with people I don't know
"Hi" - more casual, for coworkers or acquaintances
"Hey", "Yo", or "'Sup" - with close confidants
"Greetings" (with an over-pronounced T, I'm American) - flying the weird flag 3ReplyI say howdy.
3ReplyUsually some version of “Hey!”
3ReplyCasually, Hey Friends, Ay / yo Professionally, Hello
Context and all that.
3ReplyI'm an affectionate person to.my friends and tend to say 'hi honey!'.
2ReplyIf I am not familiar with the person, I'm a "hiya/heya" person.
If it's someone I'm familiar with/am glad to see, it's a super sweet "Hellloooooo!"
2ReplyI'm a more sinister, third thing (haiiiiiii!)
2Reply"Huhu" (I'm from Germany)
2ReplyIrl I'm a "good [time of day]" person
When texting I have the habit of initiating conversations with "a."
A habit that has metastised to some close friends and family members, which does please me
Edit: Lemmy ate my time of day

1ReplyHey Hela Jow Dag Hoi Ola Morge
1ReplyI stick to "How are ye?" most of the time I say something, otherwise just a nod or a wave.
1Reply'Allo-'allo is my default greeting for most people I know personally. It's bilingual (English-French) without devolving into the soulless Bonjour-Hi of customer service.
1Reply"你好" / "好", "早", "怎么样", "吃饭了没有" and other expressions depending on context and mood here.
