I think it’s like in Saving Private Ryan where the guy rattles off pop-culture references like Mickey Mouse. I can see someone gesticulating and proclaiming “TAYLOR SWIFT COCA-COLA CHEESEBURGER DARTH VADER!” Until our eyes alight on whatever reference we get while grunts and pantomime then proceed.
Although, personally, I collect greetings, if I don’t butcher them through misremembering. Without using a translator, I (think) I know (phonetically): Donde esta (Spanish), Domo iri gato, (Japanese), Conas ta tu (Irish Gaelic), Ochen pray-atna (Russian), and Bonjour, par les vous Anglais? (French)
Dónde está isn’t hello, sorry. It’s “where is” and your Russian is the first two words of “pleased to meet you”.
Not to be that putz on the internet, but I think domo arigato is thank you. Hello is konnichiwa. And amazingly, I don't watch anime.
Ah! I had Konnichiwa at first! Should stick with my gut. Stupid Styx.
And "donde esta" is "where is" 🤣
Yeah yeah yeah, “buenos diaz/tardas/noches or hola.” I DID say my memory butchers things.
