      Greetings In Different Languages


      Recommended Posts

      Hi guys! :)

      Well, I would just like to share translations of some basic greetings from English to my native language which is Filipino. I would also love to know the equivalent translation into your own native language if you may.

      Here are my greeting translations:

      Good morning - magandang umaga

      Good afternoon - magandang hapon

      Good evening - magandang gabi

      Good day - magandang araw

      How are you today? - kumusta ka ngayon?

      It's nice to meet you - Masaya akong makilala ka

      Thank you so much for your replies @Mameha and @WizardX. :) Since it's still morning in my part of the world right now, I would just like to greet you both Good morning, Buongiorno, Habari ya asubuhi, and Magandang umaga. I hope you are having a wonderful day today - Sana ay maganda and araw nyo ngayon (in Filipino).

      Hi there.

      Good morning - Bonjour    (We don't really say good morning. Bonjour is like hello. Bon = good jour = day. Matin is the word for morning.)

      Good afternoon - Bonne après-midi

      Good evening - Bonsoir (this is how you would say it as a greeting) Bonne soirée  (this is how you would say goodbye at night)

      Good day - Bonjour  (again)

      How are you? - Comment allez-vous?

      It's nice to meet you - Enchanté (this is what you say when you have just met someone. Not an exact translation of nice to meet you.)
