How do you say hello in Neapolitan?

The most common way to say hello in Neapolitan is "Buongiorno". It's the same as in standard Italian.

However, Neapolitan has its own unique expressions, and here are a few options:

* "Ciao" (pronounced "chow") is a more casual greeting.

* "Salute" (pronounced "sa-loo-tay") is a more formal greeting, literally meaning "health".

* "A'mmè" (pronounced "ah-may") is a very informal greeting, often used between friends.

It's important to note that these greetings are not always interchangeable. Using "A'mmè" in a formal setting would be considered inappropriate, while "Buongiorno" can be used in most situations.

Here is a summary:

* Formal: Buongiorno

* Informal: Ciao, Salute

* Very informal: A'mmè

The best way to choose the right greeting depends on the context and the people you are speaking to.
