Hi, Leah. I’m Jennifer, an online Chinese teacher from China. Generally speaking, “您好 (nínhǎo)” and “你好 (nǐhǎo)” both mean “hello.” “您 (nín)” shows more respect than “你 (nĭ)” does, and is often used to call those who are older or with higher ranks.
In addition, as for other way to say “hello,” we can also say “嗨 (hēi)” and “喂 (wèi).” These two words are more casual and wildly used in close friends.
Are you still got any questions? Please feel free to contact me at [email protected], I’m always happy to hear from you.
By the way, I’d love to recommend you a great site which provides all kinds of free Chinese learning materials for language learners such as popular Chinese expressions, Chinese culture stories, sample Chinese tests and so on. You can visit:

你好 (nǐhǎo) - hello
您好 (nínhǎo) - hello, used to greet someone older/in a higher position
嗨 (hāi) - hi (loanword from English)
嘿 (hēi) - hey
喂 (wèi) - hello/hey (usually used on the telephone)
That's pretty much it. Hope this helps. :)

You can say "Wei". (Hi)
You can also say "Zao An". (Good Morning) Good Afternoon, ect
Neen Hao is saying hello usually to an elder. Among younger peers it is usually ni hao.

Strictly speaking "nin hao" and "ni hao" both mean how are you, not hello per se. The difference between the two is nin is used for greeting seniors, superiors, high ranking officials; ni is used for peers. When greeting friends with a "hello" in Chinese, some would say "wei" 喂 (wey) which is the word they use when answering phones casually. Other greetings include "hei" 嗨 (hey).

Since that I am a native speaker of Chinese Language and I live in Hong Kong, my answer should not wrong.
To say "hello":
您好 - A formal way to say hello. (To your parents or boss)
你好 - A formal way to say hello.
喂 - If you say hello to your friends, you may use this term.
嗨 - Informal, usually use in Chinese
Hope that I can solve your question.
P.S. I am a native speaker of Yao Chinese(a bit differents to Chinese) but I still know how to speak Chinese now.

I know a special way,especially in Northern China, people say:"ni chi le ma" (你吃了吗？) means "Did you have your meal" to express "ni hao" or "hello" "hi"

HI/HELLO/HEY

I don't even think they say THAT anymore in Chinese. I was under the impression that it was more old fashioned. XD
參考: Don't know for sure.. Just something I remembered hearing once upon a time.
