hihi

Rare honeyeater species

Hihi is an informal greeting, a playful or flirtatious variant of "hi" with the repeated syllable suggesting warmth or coyness.

Common in texting and online chat: hihi, haven't seen you in forever!

The doubling conveys friendliness or nervous energy that a single "hi" might not capture.
