One word greetings in private messages

Hey there, have you ever received ONE WORD GREETINGS from anyone through private messages here in Italki???

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but, lately a bunch of people started sending me one word greetings and I believe that they hope that this would start a conversation... The most famous are Hi and Hello. I never replied them but I think to myself if they really expect any reply from that...


Anyway, I want to know:

1- If anyone received a "one word greetings message" with a word besides Hi or Hello...

2 - What suggestions can we share with those (annoying) pure hearted people who truly believe that it is a good way to start changing messages with a complete stranger person...

Чемпионат мира по футболу 2018 - Сомнения в России
Привет !!!

Ребята, как и большинство бразильцев, я сумасшедший по футболу, и здесь, в Бразилии, большинство из нас знает слишком мало о России. Даже если у меня нет денег на поездку и выезжаю в Россию, следите за Чемпионат мира по футболу, я хотел бы узнать от вас, ребята:



1 - Какие советы вы могли бы дать любому, кто отправится в Россию, посмотреть игры?



2 - То, что турист должен обратить внимание на территории России, чтобы не обидеть уроженца, связанного с российскими привычками и убеждениями;



3 - Говоря о еде, что бы вы порекомендовали кому-то попробовать, попробовать, в вашей стране?



4 - Вы в восторге от игр?



5 - Вы уверены в российском футбольном отряде?



До скорой встречи !

FACADE, how to correctly pronounce this word Hey guys, wtsup... So... I read in a dictionary that the correct way to say the word FACADE is like this: Fuh-Sahd... My first impression when I read this word was to say fa-ca-de (don't making the c sound like S) So okay I could assume what I discovered through the dictionary but then in my workplace some workmates of mine work with webdesign and there is a design method in English called FACADE but all of them pronounce fah-said.... So I wanted to correct them at first, but then I thought of asking you guys, is there other scenario where you pronounce the word FACADE like those guys are saying fah-said?

Country name in your language = name of animal


In English the country Turkey is the same name of the animal Turkey.

In Portuguese the country Peru is the same name of the animal Peru (Peru animal is Turkey in English).

So guys, have you ever noticed a name of a country that in your language is the name of an animal? Or do you know a country name that in your language mean something else?

Importance of tourism in your country...

Hey there. Talking about tourism, do you think that tourism is important to your country? If so do you think that your country is "tourist friendly"?? I mean, some cultures/countries have rules that are so rigid, in other cultures point of view, that it may restrain tourism itself. What is your opinion about it?

In the case of Brazil, I would say yes, tourism is important, the country is tourist friendly, no special rules about behavior (no need to mention that aggression and harassment are crimes), nor special dressing codes on the streets, you just can't be naked :p, any clothing will be okay and the only big concern is violence in great cities when going to not-so-safe regions ...

Center, Centre Hi guys, so, sometimes I observe the word Centre being used the same way as Center then I want to understand if there are moments where one should be used and not the other or if they're synonyms. Like in this plural example, should I say: Call Centers or Call Centres?

Traveling back in time ...

And then back to the future...


Hey guys... Imagine that doc Brown (Back to the future films) appears to you right now saying: "hey, wanna a ride back in time? Hop in the Delorean and set up a date"...

So.. if you could choose any past date in history to visit for one entire day (24 hours), what date and place would you select?

In this possibility the Delorean can go back in time to any date and any place in the world...But remember, you can't mess up with historical events, just visit like a tourist or something like that... the consequences may be disastrous.. doc said that if you don't behave you:

"could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that's worst-case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized, limited to merely our own galaxy."


So, what date, place and why would you like to visit this place in this specific date???


See you around time travelers :)

What country would you choose to live abroad?

Hello, if you could afford, what country would you choose to live abroad and why?

Would it be only for some time to study for example or have you ever intended to go and stay living there??
