Hallo (Ha-lo)

"Hello" in Dutch is "Hallo". Hallo sounds similar to "Hello" in English, so it's easy to remember and use as a greeting in Dutch. It's an informal greeting.

Goedemiddag (Hoo-den-mid-dah)

Good afternoon

Goedemorgen (Hoo-den-mor-gen)

"Good morning" in Dutch is "Goedemorgen". "Morgen" means "tomorrow" in Dutch, but when combined with "s", it means "in the morning". It's a common greeting in the morning.

Same as "Goedemorgen"?

Thank you very much
