If English is not your native language, what is your native language? How about adding a greeting in your native language. I was raised in the South so we never spoke the King's English unless we were reading the King James Version of the Holy Bible. I also was raised around many words I do not use and are not considered politically correct.

A greeting around here might sound like this: "Howdy Y'all!"

Καλημέρα

ευχές για ενα Σαββατοκύριακο γεμάτο όμορφες εκπλήξεις.

[AUFred]

Σας ευχαριστούμε! Το Σαββατοκύριακο δεν μπορεί να πάρει εδώ αρκετά σύντομα.

My first language is English and I grew up knowing only bits and pieces of my native language, which is Plaut Deutsch (Low German...a German/Dutch dialect). It's not really a written language and I don't know how to spell half the stuff so I'm not even going to attempt to post a greeting. Maybe Guyzerr wants to. He knows more than I do.

I'm in the South as well, but grew up in the North, so, How you doin'?

Or...How are you, eh? (grew up in Detroit, close enough to Canada).

I use babelfish when someone puts up something I do not understand. It works well to translate what is written but from English to any other language it is rather hinky. By the way. I am in love with Greek food. The Greek people know how to make everything taste so good. If I was around Greek food often I would weigh as much as a Volkswagon.

 

[BadBoy]

Sup dude?

Reminds me of Sup bro who scored 10 touchdowns in a single game or something like that.

Greek food is actually very simple we don't use many spices that is why i think a lot of people like the food

example if someone never had Chinese food before even the food will be fantastic maybe some of the spices will not been familiar and will not be able to eat the food have to get slowly used to the taste
but with Greek food on my kitchen cabinet there is 5 spices i use 80% of the time
and every culture have this at their home so this help a lot

I think English on its own is too broad a term. There are many variants and all will have trouble understanding the other at at least some point. I speak Estuary English.

Where my office was located for years across the street was a "Greek Orthodox" church. 2 or 3 times a year they would have a food festival and serve lunch. The use of grape leaves & olives & feta were such a change of pace from normal fare here. Plus the Baclava & other desserts were to die for. :thumbup:thumbup

better than the folks up here that say "Wicked dude where's mah cah?"

 

[Abcinthia]

I speak English with a quaint English Home Counties' accent.

The greetings I use are words such as... hello or hi.

I think I use a mixture of Estuary English and Received Pronunciation. My mum had elocution lessons as a child so speaks in Received Pronunciation whereas my dad has a broad Estuary English dialect. I think I sit in the middle, probably leaning more towards Estuary English
