g'day
Down Under salutation
G'day is an Australian and New Zealand greeting, a casual contraction of "good day." It functions as a friendly hello suitable for any time of day, not just daylight hours.
The greeting carries strong associations with Australian identity and is often paired with "mate": G'day, mate, how's it going?
Outside Australia, using g'day may come across as affected or humorous.
