Lie hør! (MTL: Lie hQr; Harnji: 你好; lit. "you good")...hello!
"Lie" (like 'Lee' in falling tone) means "you". "Hør" (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.
