hiya
Breezy spoken welcome
Hiya is a casual greeting, a breezy contraction of "hi" and "ya" (you).
It's friendlier and more informal than plain "hi," often used when you're pleased to see someone: Hiya, stranger!
Common in British English and among older Americans, it can sound either warmly familiar or slightly old-fashioned depending on context.
