Some people like to use hey, hello, hi, howdy to sound more cool. Some use greetings in their native language to show love for their culture, like in urdu “shab-bakhair”…etc. Others love to use Assalam-o-Alaikum to improve “barakah” (blessings) in their relationship, while few avoid it to look more modern in front of their western friends.
How do you usually greet / like to be greeted by people around you ?
p.s. I just found out “Hey *Hottie” and *“Hey Babe ” are also used on planet earth.
Re: Greetings you use with friends and relatives
Whenever I pass through any of my friend. I simply say "Assalam-o-Alaikum" and "How are you?" these are the typical greetings I always use.

"Hey How Are you Doing" - for informal non-Muslim colleagues...
"Hello I am ...." - for all formal/job related meetings ....
