The phrase "Hafa Adai" is a common expression in the Mariana Islands. Though often translated as "hello," its actual meaning is closer to "What's up?" or "What's going on?" in English. Native Chamorro speakers use it casually as a greeting among acquaintances. However, due to its widespread use in the tourism industry, it has become a general greeting used by everyone in the islands.
