peer agreement (net): +3السلام عليكم Explanation: Pronounced: ASSALAMU ALAYKUM "Hello" is an expression that comes up very frequently on KudoZ. Here is an answer that I suggested in response to a previous similar question: ASSALAMU ALAYKUM literally means, "Peace be upon you," or "peace be with you." It is a very common greeting, with Islamic roots and even deeper Biblical roots. The expression is often abbreviated to SALAM in casual encounters. In some regions, the same expresion is also used for "good-bye." The response to ASSALAMU ALAYKUM is ALAYKUM ASSALAM. Other common and less formal expressions for "hello" include AHLAN and MARHABA, the latter being also used in Turkish (spelled MERHABA). Both are expressions of hospitality, closer to "welcome," but commonly used as greetings as well. End of quote.
