And the one I screwed up was Olá because I forgot Spanish has an H in there. 🤦🏻♀️ Oddly, the easiest one (asides from French but that doesn't count since I live in France) was the Chinese "Gān bēi" which is very close to the Japanese "Kanpai", so I took a guess and it was right. I'm a fan of Eurovision (sorry!) so when I was young I taught myself to say hello in a bunch of languages, and please/thank you in some of them. Who knew, like forty years later, I'd find somebody to say "boona zua" (Romanian) and "jen dobry" (Polish) to? Oh, and for the people that run BP - "sveekee". 😉 [not the actual spellings, phonetic-like]

Kalimera does not necessarily always mean "good morning". In some areas it is used in the afternoon as well, kind of like "good day".

Actually it does mean good morning. In Greece though we use it well after noon. Personally I use till I have lunch!

German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese I know, but I’m embarrassingly uneducated in these other languages. I want to learn more. Thanks for this quiz.
