Another answer, from far away!
... From one of Andreja's students
( I wish I knew
what his/ her name was!)
" In Slovenia we use difirents words to salute our friends, bosses, strangers and
so on.
When we meet our friends we say: "zdravo, alo or haj" that means hello or hi.
But when we leave we say: "dijo, ajde, čao, adijo, baj" that means something like Bye.
But that`s only if we`re young.
Little bit older say: "ivjo, zdravo or dober dan", that means heloo or good afternoon.
But if they go they say: "adijo, pozdravljeni" that means something like goodbye.
If we`re younger and we meet our teachers perhaps we say: "zdravo or dober dan!
that means Hello or Good afternoon.
And when we go we say: "adijo or nasvidenje" that means something like See you.
But if we`re older and we meet our bosses we`re very polite and we say "dober
dan" that means Good day.
And when we go we say: "na svidenje, adijo, se vidimo" that means goodbye or see
you.
They say thaht Slovenish nation is a little bit shy, but that`s not always true.
If we meet a stranger we often don`t say nothing. We just go on, but that`s only
because our mothers taught us not to speak with the strangers.
The most popular phrases to say hello in youger company is: "haj, hej, zdravo,
alo, čao" and that`s all like hi or something like that.
But in older company that`s often: "dober dan, ivjo, ...".
We also need two diferent words for word you. It`s "vi and ti". We use "vi" for
people that we really respect and people that are older then we are and if
they`re in higher situation then we. But "ti" we use for our friends, family and
younger people."
to Andreja and her student!
