"Hello!"

Translation: Salut!

[Tokyolightts_]

You can also say, "Ceau!" I am raised by native Romanians, it just depends where in Romania you come from

Noroc should be accepted - I know it's very informal and between friends.... but it does mean hello

[potestasity]

It would just create confusion, especially since its main meaning is "luck". Greetings are taught very early and that's not the moment to teach every alternative possible. Imagine learning about "howdy", "yo", or "sup" in your first English lessons! :P

[gelfo]

You are right - but it doesn't have to be "taught" - just accepted :)

I would say noroc as Hai noroc, a greeting to a pal or chum. Saying noroc on its own would more commonly be used as a "bless you" for a sneeze.

Everyone I've met in Bucharest just says, "Bună"

[hananahp]

buna ziua!

[kintamanate]

Buna ziua is good day. While it is a greeting, it's more specific than a general "hello"

[MarkDunshe1]

Is there a difference between salut and bună?

[bgdnlcts]

No, both mean the same thing.

[bgdnlcts]

Salut and Bună can be seen as Hello and Hi.

What is the difference between Salut and bună?
