Salvadorans have unique expressions in their greetings. “¿Qué ondas, vos?” is a common way to say “What’s up?”. “¿Qué tal?” is widely used to ask how someone is doing. “¡Qué punta!” is an exclamation that can mean hello or express surprise. When saying goodbye, “Nos vemos” or “Ahí nos vidrios” (a play on words meaning “see you later”) are popular.
