HOW-dee

释义

A very informal way to say hello. It is especially associated with the southern and western United States and can sound friendly, casual, or old-fashioned.

用法与细微差别

Mostly used as a greeting, often at the start of a conversation: 'Howdy, folks!' It is strongly regional in tone, so outside that context it may sound playful, cowboy-like, or deliberately rustic. Less neutral than 'hi' or 'hello'.
