buenos días - good morning. adiós - goodbye. buenas tardes - good afternoon. buenas noches - good evening. muy buenos - a shortened version of the above three greetings, suitable anytime.

Similarly, what is the reply of Hola? I think for most English language users “greetings” as a response to “hello” is a little awkward in any case? Other responses to “hola” you might use: Buenos días/tardes/noches. Buenas.

Considering this, what are three ways to say hello in Spanish?

Updated March 24, 2019. How do you answer if someone asks you, ¿Cómo estás? or How are you?? The standard answer is probably Bien (Fine) or Muy bien (Very good). Of course, both of those responses are often expanded: Muy bien, gracias.
