Here we have hola the h is silent and it means hi. The upside down exclamation point
in front is different for you too. In Spanish we have upside down exclamation points
and upside down question marks to note an exclamatory or interrogative sentence.
12
Buenos días means Good morning….literally it means Good day!
13
Buenas tardes means good afternoon! Note the use of an a here on buenas because
tardes is a feminine word which we will learn about later in the course.
14
Buenas noches can mean Good evening or Good night as in greeting or telling
someone goodbye 
