Here are five ways to say "hi" in Chinese, along with examples of how to use them:
1. 你好 (nǐ hǎo) - This is a very common way to greet someone in Chinese, and is similar to saying "hello" in English. Example: "你好，怎么样？" (Nǐ hǎo, zěn me yàng?) - "Hi, how are you?" 
2. 您好 (nín hǎo) - This is a more formal way of greeting someone, and is used when addressing someone older or in a position of authority. Example: "您好，我是来自美国的留学生。" (Nín hǎo, wǒ shì lái zì Měiguó de liúxuéshēng.) - "Hello, I am a student from the United States." 
3. 大家好 (dà jiā hǎo) - This is a way to greet a group of people, and is similar to saying "hello, everyone" or "hello, all" in English. Example: "大家好，我是新来的。" (Dà jiā hǎo, wǒ shì xīn lái de.) - "Hello, everyone, I am new here."
4. 哈喽 (hā lóu) is a casual way of greeting someone in Chinese, similar to saying "hi" or "hey" in English. The word is derived from the English word "hello," and is often used among friends or in informal situations.
Example: "哈喽，你最近过得怎么样？" (Hā lóu, nǐ zuìjìn guò de zěn me yàng?) - "Hi, how have you been lately?"
It is worth noting that 哈喽 is not as commonly used as other greetings such as 你好 (nǐ hǎo) or 您好 (nín hǎo) in Chinese. It is more commonly used among younger people or in casual settings.
5. 嗨 (hāi) - This is a more informal and casual way of greeting someone, and is similar to saying "hi" or "hey" in English. Example: "嗨，最近过得怎么样？" (Hāi, zuìjìn guò de zěn me yàng?) - "Hi, how have you been lately?"

Swedish furniture company IKEA has opened a new store.

There's nothing strange about that. But wait a minute — the new store is inside a video game. And it's paying real people to work there!

IKEA advertised for 10 positions in a virtual store it has opened in Roblox — and got more than 178,000 applications!

Roblox is a popular online gaming platform that lets users play games and create their own.

IKEA has created The Co-Worker Game on the platform. And it needed some employees.

At the start of June, IKEA began looking for people aged 18 and over in the UK and Ireland to work as paid members of staff at the in-game store.

It said staff would help customers, and would be able to get promoted and move departments, just like in real life.

The company said it wanted to show that it does things a little differently.

Wes Davis from technology website The Verge called it a "weird" but "harmless" idea.

He said he'd never heard of other companies paying people to work in a game, but added that US company Walmart has already created a game on Roblox.

IKEA said its employees would be paid a little over $16.50 per hour during their work-from-home shifts, which is about the same as the company's other workers get paid in the UK.

The store opened on June 24. It's not clear how long the workers will be employed for, although the company said the positions would be on a "limited contract."

It also said anyone who didn't get a job could still experience the virtual store and win in-game prizes.
