These ways to say âhelloâ are used in very casual, friendly, and familiar contexts. They can be used in spoken English, text messages, voicemail messages, or emails with people that you know well. While theyâre not exactly rude to use with strangers, they arenât exactly polite, either. Using these greetings with people you donât know well might cause confusion, and these greetings are not considered appropriate in certain contexts. You shouldnât use these casual greetings in formal situations, as doing so might make the person youâre talking to think you arenât taking that formal situation as seriously as you should be
