In Fyfyh the normal situation is you would say "Wytal ki?" the question you're asking is basically "Do you want to hang out?" or "Want to chat?". The response to this is ether ta (yes) or hyl (no), if they say no you're expected to leave/stop talking to them (for a while). | |||
The word Haly is used when you're greeting someone but you're not giving them an option about it. You're going to engage in a conversation. This would be considered rude if you did this when it's not needed. Examples of use cases might be a police officer who needs to speak to you or even arrest you might start the conversation like this. Another use maybe a friend is upset and you're worried for their safety so you may start like this as you're not giving them an option to decline to engage in the conversation/be with you. | |||
