Lie hør! 🔊 OGG (Lie hQr; 你好; lit. "you good"; hello)
"Lie" (li2; like 'Lee' in falling tone) means "you". "Hør" (hQ2; like 'huh' in falling tone) means "good". The "ø" in "hør" can be replaced with a "Q", yielding "hQr".
Due to tone sandhi, the phrase "Lie hQr" is pronounced with "lie 🔊" in the high tone (#1).
