Hi Kiki,

Welcome to the forum!

Please try to translate this yourself on the Spanish Dict translator. To get to the translator, you can click on "Translation" at the top of this page. After that, if you still aren't sure, you can edit your question and tell us what you think it is, and then we can tell you what we think!

Hope this helps!

Welcome to the forum. I use "oye!" when I want to say hey. Also ¡eh! hola!

¡Oye! (Familiar)

¡Oiga! (Formal)

This is saying "Hey!", not "Hello!". These words are to get the attention of someone.

If you want to say "hello", there are many greetings to choose from:

Hola - Hello

¿Qué pasa? ¿Qué tal? - What's up

¿Qué onda? - What's up (Used in Mexico)

I am sure you will be able to find a old thread with more greetings if you use the search bar.
