1484: Different Greetings Jan 4, 2019
Every language will have greetings, though these often come in a variety completely different ways. Many Indo-European languages have words like English's 'hello', but these don't really relate to anything concrete. In other languages, such as Hawai'ian 'aloha' famously, or Hebrew's 'shalom', these can be used for greetings or for farewells because they just mean 'love' and 'peace' respectfully; there are some examples like this in English but these are less popular. In Georgian however, the word for a greeting is 'gamarjoba’, which means ‘victory’.
