When I'm not sure, I lift my hand up and wave. Oh, and smile, too. Usually works pretty well. grin

Hola is, of course, your basic "hello." Depending on the circumstances (time of day, formality, etc.), there are other appropriate phrases:

  • Buenos dias = good morning
  • Buenas tardes = good afternoon/evening
  • Buenas noches = good night

If you don't want to sound completely "book," consider adding something like ¿Que tal? or ¿Que onda? These, however, are pretty much only appropriate in informal situations.

The dictionary function on this website may be of help to you, especially as you explore all of the other things you wish to say.

It doesn't work like that. People post questions, and those other members of the forum who feel like it, post replies. That can sometimes take minutes, hours,or days even. I invite you to look at other questions, so get a feel for it. - Gekkosan, Oct 4, 2011
