There are a few ways to say "hello" in Oriya, depending on the formality and time of day:

Formal:

* ନମସ୍କାର (namaskaar) - This is the most formal greeting, similar to "good morning" or "good evening" in English. It's used for elders or people you don't know well.

* ଶୁଭରାତ୍ରି (shubharatri) - This means "good night".

* କିଛି କହିବାକୁ ନାହିଁ (kichhi kahibaaku nahi) - This literally means "nothing to say", but it's used as a casual greeting similar to "hello".

Friendly:

* ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ସାଦର (apananku sadara) - This means "welcome" or "nice to see you".

You can also use the more casual " ହେ (he) ", similar to "hey" in English.

Tips:

* It's polite to use formal greetings when speaking to elders or people you don't know well.
