Este oso no sabe nada, Alfredo. Nomבs quiere aprender y estב aprendiendo, despacito, pero aprendiendo. Muchas gracias, ¶:^)
neutral Eynat : More trawling, copying and pasting. It's wrong when you don't speak the language and can't judge the context and the subtleties. Totally unprofessional.

What's so wrong with "copying and pasting" when the reference provided could be helpful to the asker? This isn't a linguistic challenge; it's just a simple way of saying hello, as the asker herself stated. ¶:^)
neutral Rutie Eckdish : Thank you, Einat. A little more professionalism is indeed not asking too much, is it?

I know you're only talking to "Einat" (sic) but may I ask, what exactly is your definition of "professionalism"? Misspelling your colleague's name, perhaps? ¶;^)

the first answer is correct but

you may also use the more colloquial greetings:

ma ha inianim
ma kore? ma kore itcha? ma kore itach? (what happens/with you)
ma chadash (what is new?)
