γεία σας / YAH-sahs / hello, goodbye, cheers
Ah yes, the Greek aloha! Yassas starts every conversation in a shop or restaurant, is the greeting you hear between people in the streets, what you say to start drinking, it probably also is a derogatory football term and what you say at a bar mitzvah for all I know. It’s the buenas dias, the bonjour, the ohayoo …
… the aloha.
