You can say "hey" in Turkish in a few ways, the most common being "Selam!"
Here's a breakdown:
-
Selam!: This is the most straightforward and common way to say "hi" or "hey" in Turkish. It's informal and widely used.
-
Merhaba!: While technically meaning "hello," Merhaba is another option. However, it's slightly more formal than Selam. Think of it like the difference between "hello" and "hi" in English.
