hello there
Informal welcoming phrase
Hello there is a friendly greeting, slightly more emphatic or playful than plain hello.
The addition of there acknowledges the other person more directly: Hello there, I didn't see you come in.
It gained cult status from its repeated use in Star Wars films, where Obi-Wan Kenobi delivers it as a signature line.
