Bolivians often start conversations with “¿Qué tal?” (How’s it going?). “Buen día” is common in the morning, while “Buenas tardes/noches” are used later. In informal settings, you might hear “¿Cómo estás, pues?” with “pues” adding a distinctly Bolivian touch. “Jallalla” is a greeting from Aymara, often used alongside Spanish in the Andean regions.
