How do you say 'hello' in Arabic?
Correct answer: Marhaba
Vel
Merhaba is hello in Turkish. Lived in Turkey and used that word often. Was interesting to see Marhaba is hello in Arabic. Thinking of the Turkish people tonight after the earthquakes especially the lovely people of Adana where we lived at 2 different times.

Ni Hao is Chinese. Konichiwa is Japanese. Namaste is Hindi. So I chose Marhaba.

PerkyLin, As salami alaikum is a religious term

Marhaba is welcome, not hello. Ahlsn is also welcome, but can be used as Hello. Some also say, Hala as in هلا
Safa
PerkyLin, that means “peace upon you”

Player #118103951, there is no Chinese language. It’s either Mandarin or Cantonese. In this case, ‘ni hao’ is Mandarin.
