How many ways to say hello?
When two people meet in Tokyotgey say 'Konnichiha' which means 'hello'. But if they answer the phone, they say 'moshi moshi'. Japan isn't the only country to have its own special 'telephone language'. The Spanish say 'hola' for hello but on the phone they answer 'digame'. Literally translated 'digame' means 'tell me'- but this sounds very rude in English. Similarly, if a caller heard the words: 'I'm ready' in London or New York, they'd think this was very strange. They'd ask: ready for what? But in Italy the word 'pronto' means exactly this.
The rules for answering the phone in the international workplace seem to be more universal. Phone a business number and the receptionist is likely to say the name of the company and answer more politely or formally. For example, in English you make the polite offerof help with 'how can I help you?' But even this isn't quite as polite as the very formal Norwegian response: 'var so god' literally meaning 'be so good'.
