Hei

This is pronounced (roughly) like 'hey' in English and means 'hello'.

As given below \'Hallo\' is also acceptable, it\'s just like using \'hi\' or \'hey\' or \'hello\' in English, more than one way to say it but it means the same thing.

Look at www.elite.net/~runner/jennifers/ for all the possibilities, you can also say \'goddag (obvious cognate of \'good day\'), \'hallo\' AND \'hei\' all are acceptable.
