¿Cuándo se dice hi y cuándo se dice hello?

"Hello" es más común que "hi". Yo diría que es un poco más formal.
Hi HappySebilla!
I believe this article has the answers you seek, and more! the use of 'hi' and 'hello' is explained thoroughly here. http://www.differencebetween.net/language/words-language/difference-between-hi-and-hello/
Hope it helps!
In England I don't think anybody says ' hey!', but obviously, in Sweden we all say 'Hej!'. Hi and hello are almost interchangeable these days, I would say. If I see a friend I might say ' Hi, how are you?' or' Hello, how are you, how nice to see you?' If it was my mother-in -law I would probably ise 'hello', but even she has moved with the times.
Yo nunca he oído "Hi". Lo he leído en mensajes de texto o en el internet, pero nunca lo he oído en conversación (a no ser que sea parte de una broma). En lugar de "hi", usualmente uso "hey" con desconocidos, y "hey" "yo" o "what's up?" con amigos.
"Hello" es muy común en conversaciones formales.
