Let's begin In American People usually say "hello", "Hi", "Good morning*", "How are you ?", "How's going", "What's up", "How are you doing?"

@urusaikidd: Ooh The "WAI" motion, and you helped you understand about the different between "Sawasdee (romanized) Khrap" and "Sawasdee Kha" in Thailand. How interesting, Thank you so much.

That motion is called a "wai" (rhymes with "pay") and, as you note, you would say "Sawasdee (romanized) Khrap" if a man, but "Sawasdee Kha" if a woman.
