"Merhaba!"

[HamzaNehlawi]

it's like the arabic "Merhaba"= "مرحبا" :)

[Carpetini]

I am going to say the same.

[charafilastine]

haha true .. :D

[burak.duolingo]

Merhaba - Hello

Selam - Hi

[mooncats]

Is it true that it's also correct to pronounce this word with voiceless 'h' [meraba]?

[Selcen_Ozturk]

many people do that in daily speech, yes

[saschambaer]

Just as a nitpick, h is voiceless. You mean silent (i.e. not said at all)

[akrTubaVed]

I am from turkiy

[Dakota_Marz]

does turkish have semivowels (I think that's what they are called). by semivowel I mean "er" "ir" "or" "ur" in English where you wouldn't say "eh-r" but rather a sort of different sound that is like the Nordic "ø"
