How do you say hello in patois?

There's no single, universally accepted way to say "hello" in Patois, as it's a broad term encompassing various Creole languages spoken across the Caribbean and parts of the Americas.

Here are some common greetings in different Patois varieties:

* Jamaican Patois:

* "Wah gwaan?" (What's going on?)

* "How yuh deh?" (How are you?)

* "A right yah so" (It's right here) - Often used as a general greeting.

* Haitian Creole:

* "Bonjou" (Good morning) - Used throughout the day.

* "Ki jan ou ye?" (How are you?)

* Louisiana Creole:

* "Ki jan ou lé?" (How are you?)

* "Bonjou" (Good morning) - Used throughout the day.

* Dominican Patois:

* "Komo ta'?" (How are you?)

* "Buen dia" (Good day) - Used throughout the day.

It's important to note that the specific greeting used will depend on the context and the specific region or community where it's spoken.

It's always a good idea to ask a native speaker for the best way to greet someone in their specific Patois.
