we have several ways of saying “hey” in chinese

1. hey/ hi + name = hello
Young people usually say that

2. ni hao + name = hello
This is the most common way of saying “hey” in China

3. If you want to call out to a friend to get their attention. In China we say the name of your friend directly like “Mike!”
