How do you say hello in igbo language?

"Hello" in Igbo can be said in a few different ways, depending on the context and formality:

Formal:

* "Kedu ka i mere?" (keh-doo kah ee meh-reh) - This literally translates to "How are you?", but is used as a polite greeting.

* "Ndewo" (n-deh-woh) - This is a more general greeting, similar to "hello" or "goodbye".

Informal:

* "Ndewo" (n-deh-woh) - Can be used as an informal greeting, but also as a "goodbye".

* "Ezie" (eh-zee-eh) - A casual "hello" often used between friends or family members.

* "Ezie n'echeta" (eh-zee eh-neh-cheh-tah) - Means "Hello, I remember you" and is a friendly greeting.

Other options:

* "Kedụ ka mmadụ si?" (keh-doo kah mah-doo see?) - "How are people?" This is a more general greeting used for a group of people.

* "Ka Chineke gozie gi" (kah chee-neh-keh go-zee gee) - "May God bless you". This is a very formal and respectful greeting.

The best way to choose the right greeting depends on the situation and the people you are talking to.
