Hi, bye, thanks, and sorry
I’ve always wanted a simple table of these words in different languages (of places I’m traveling).
Ask a local for the correct pronunciation!
language | hi | bye | thanks | sorry |
---|---|---|---|---|
French | bonjour | au revoir | merci | pardon |
German | hallo | tschüss | danke | entschuldigung |
Italian | ciao | ciao | grazie | scusa |
Mandarin | nǐ hǎo | zài jiàn | xiè xiè | duì bù qǐ |
North Sámi | bures | mana | giitu | ándagassii |

Spanish | hola | adiós | gracias | lo siento |
