How do teens in Northern England greet each other?

Question

Do they say "hi" or "hey" or "hello", or what do they say when they meet someone they know on the street?

Answer 1

Typically "hiya" is a standard greeting, with "cheers" as a standard "so long - see you." "Ya alright?" is another standard used more in the south. Use a respectful and friendly tone of voice and pause for a response. I was never able to remove my traditional American greetings long enough to adopt these greetings.
