Is hi a noun or adjective?

"Hi" is neither a noun nor an adjective. It's a greeting.

Here's why:

* Nouns name people, places, things, or ideas. "Hi" doesn't refer to any of those.

* Adjectives describe nouns. "Hi" doesn't describe anything.

It's a word we use to start a conversation or acknowledge someone.
