hi pilots, i was wondering if the pilots from many different nations around the world would spell out the different ways to say hello and good bye, and other friendly saying, so we can greet each other in thier own tongue?? for instance szia is hungarian for hello( thats what cu-pal told me thx bud ;-) ) and viszlat is goodbye in hungarian. in russian i was told privet is hello and do suidaniya is good bye. any other short phases would be nice to like nice flying in anohther language or help, directions like north south east west too. or even thank you, yes , no please, ect. i know we have alot of nationalities here so please help me out. i know we have polish german, ukranian isrealian possibly even japanese or chinese. and alot more to mention. so please let me know and other bye bye, do suidaniya, viszlat, aufwiedersien. sorry not familiar with german spelling. please add my fellow pilots

here some help : this "vee gates" is spelled "wie geht's" it's a question and means: how are you? "grusgut" (is doch komisch ) is spelled "gruess gott" it's very polite and means something like: may god greet you for speaking: "vee gates" is quite correct. ue = French u [This message has been edited by Finus (edited 19 July 2001).]
ALERT! ALERT! That's brazilian-portuguese! "OlЁ " is, like fla said, Hi . "Oi" is typically brazilian "Adeus" is the PT for , Good bye ( yes, we use tchau a lot of times, but it's very very informal ). "Ate a proxima" - Until we see again etc... if any doubt arises, we'll post the answer here mcosta Sturmtruppen
Hello: Zdravei in Bulgarian (polite and plural - Zdraveite, more informal - Zdrasti) Zdravo in Serbian ZdraVstvui in Russian Privet works the same in all three. Zdrave actually means Health. The greeting in army is (in Bulgarian) Zdrave jelaem! Dovijdane = see you. More commonly used and informal is Tchao. The most shortest and informal I can think of is Ai (from Haide = Let from Let`s go LOL!) There are hundreds other phrases used to greet with. These are just the ones I tend to use. Also plz note that you are not experiecing their full impact, because they are be written with Cyrrilic alphabet. Others i could remember in the moment: Cze the short form in Polish, right? Ave (=Privet) and Salve (=Zdravei) in Latin Yo man in American Hei in Finnish Kali mera = Good day in Greek Shalom aleihem or just Shalom in Hebrew Seliam aleikum or just Seliam in Arabic ------------------ Генерал-майор (Air Commodore) grobar, Axis Foreign Volunteers Squadron [This message has been edited by grobar (edited 23 July 2001).]
Oh, one more thing! "MLYA" ("mlyaaa", "mlyaaaaaaa") means in Russian something like "SH*T" or "DAMN" in English! All of you can see that very often on FH... [This message has been edited by Stardust (edited 23 July 2001).]
I corrected it. I just cant pronounce such awful clump of letters so I forget to write it. Bizerk, mcgru is right. It is more useful to learn swearing in foreign languages. You`d see it is half of the russian chat. ------------------ Генерал-майор (Air Commodore) grobar, Axis Foreign Volunteers Squadron [This message has been edited by grobar (edited 23 July 2001).]
