Informal:
* ഹലോ (Halo) - This is the most common way to say hello in casual conversation. It's a direct transliteration of the English word "hello."
Formal:
* നമസ്തേ (Namaste) - This is a more respectful greeting, literally meaning "I bow to you." It's used in formal situations or when addressing someone you respect.
You can also use other greetings, such as:
* ശുഭോദയം (Shubhodhayam) - Good morning
* നന്മകൾ (Nammakal) - Good afternoon/good evening
The choice of greeting depends on the situation and your relationship with the person you are addressing.
