These sayings have become widely known in popular culture, and some others have even been adopted into the daily vocabulary of many English speakers.

This test will evaluate your ability to recognize “hellos” and “goodbyes” from languages all around the world, as well as your capability to identify which are more formal and which are laid-back and casual. Ready to begin?

    #15 is wrong! Good afternoon would be "dobry wieczór". "Dzień dobry" is good morning.
