1. Greeting people.

In my learning, I have found the five words to greet people in English, i.e., hello, hi, hey, hi there, and howdy.

Here, I would like to show you how to use it in Indonesian.

Get an apple..! Using the right understanding to greet people in Indonesian.

English	Indonesian	Brightness
Hello	Halo	You will say Halo. When you meet with the individuals which you prefer to greet it. Or when you are on the phone call. Say Halo with O longer, "Haloooooooooo..." When you try to find an individual in a house or a place.
Hi	Hai	You will say Hai. When you meet with the individuals which you want to greet it, informally.
Hey	Hei	You will say Hei, only to greet your friend.
Hi there	Hai di sana	Used when the individuals are at a distance with you. You can say, "halooooooooooo," with the letter O longer instead of saying "Hi there." You can use for the phone call too, if someone there does not hear your voice, "halooooooooooo..."
Howdy	Apa kabar?	The word howdy means: How do you do? In Indonesian, that's mean: Apa kabar? You can use, "Apa kabar?" to greet all people.

2. Say goodbye.

How to say goodbye in Indonesian? 

The words or phrases  to say goodbye that I found in English are: bye, bye - bye, see ya later, take care, have a good one.

In Indonesian, there are simple phrases to say goodbye. There are two you can use for all, i.e., sampai jumpa and selamat tinggal. Those both phrases are already enough when you will leave and want to say goodbye.

These are the informal ways to say goodbye.

• Bye = Da "Pronunciation in Indonesian, when you want to say goodbye, if you use this word, would be better if say, "Daaa," with 'a' longer."
• Bye - bye = Da - da "Pronunciation in Indonesian, when you want to say goodbye, if you use this word, would be better if say, "Da - daaa," with 'a' longer on the second words."
• See ya later = Sampai jumpa lagi or sampai ketemu lagi.
• Take care = Hati - hati.
• Have a good one = Selamat tinggal dan semoga harimu menyenangkan "It's a cool way of saying goodbye and have a nice day," at the same time.

That's it all!
