Whether you are writing an email, sending a text, or speaking face to face, having several ways to say "hello" keeps your communication fresh. Each alternative below comes with a quick note on when it works best.
How to Choose the Right Alternative
- Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
- Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
- For texts, shorter is almost always better. Trim any alternative that takes more than one breath to say.
