I'm probably going to spell some of these wrong:
Czech-ulpny-perfect
Portuguese-boa noite-good night
Oi gavolta-i use it for like 'you are frustrating me staap' but when I can't express it
Spanish-amor-love
Polish-kon-horse
Scottish-baird-baby
Adonai-holy
Kemon acho? (How are you) in Bengali :)
Corazon (Heart in Spanish)
Coração (Heart in Portuguese)
(Those two popped into my head)
Hola! - Hello; Spanish
Je t'aime - I love you; French
Guten Morgen! - Good Morning; German
Merci, Danke, Gracias, Thank you -- FR, GER, SPA, ENG
(NOTE: for ALL of my posts in this thread, or the whole sub-community actually ... I do not have any of the accent marks to add them as they should be in the proper grammar of each language. Please overlook this, if you would.) ~ Platy

@Blue1wind -
Hi Blueone, actually for "salut" in French, it means more of a "hi" - a casual greeting. It would not be appropriate say for me to greet my teacher in the morning with "Salut!" But greeting a friend, "salut" would be much more usual(?).
Bonjour is Hello in French. Salut is more like Hi. :)
Anyone actually from France, (first I would love to meet you!) please feel free to correct my explanation here, as needed :) Au revoir! Platy
@cyanPlatypus6370
Oh you're right cyan !
I knew that. I am fluent in French. But it is the English difference between hi and hello that I didn't knew, even if I was using them correctly *ashamed*
Well, thank you for the correction. And yes, we greet friends with "salut" and teachers with "bonjour". But you can also use "salut" in the meaning of "goodbye".
@Blue1wind - your last sentence? Yes I just read about that yesterday - I did not know "salut" can also mean good bye!
What do the French say by way of a toast? Like in American English we'll hear the toast and respond with "Cheers!" or just a small drink if it was a poor toast (shhhh). I think Italians say "salute!" which literally means "to your health!" Sil vous plait, how is this in French?
Sil vous plait (formal form) - Please
Sil te plait (familiar form) - Please :)
oh and for all of you non-French speakers ... how invitations say RSVP... yes, that is from French :)
Responde sil vous plait - literally, Respond if you please.

@cyanPlatypus6370
What a question! In fact, personally I don't drink alcohol, and I don't know what they say 😅
@Blue1wind - Well as you are a teen, I would hope not! But my friends had their first toast at their wedding with champaign glasses of milk - so there
:) Platy
@cyanPlatypus6370
Oh! Glasses of milk 😂
danse — french for dance :)
