Peruvian Greetings
How Peruvians say hello and start conversations
5 phrases
What's up / How are you (Peru)
¿Qué tal? is the safest, most universally natural way to greet someone in Peru. It works for friends, acquaintances, and even professional situations.
Hi / Hey (quick greeting, Peru)
"Buenas" is the quick, friendly shortening of buenos días/tardes/noches, used across Peru at any time of day. A safe, warm default when walking into a shop, taxi, or restaurant.
How are you doing (Peru)
"¿Cómo andas?" is a warm, colloquial way Peruvians ask how someone is doing — a step more casual than "¿cómo estás?" and very natural among friends and coworkers you already know.
Everything calm / All good (Peru)
"¿Todo tranquilo?" is a very Peruvian way to check in — asking if everything is calm, fine, under control. The reply "todo tranquilo" means "all good, nothing to worry about".
Nice to meet you (short form, Peru)
"Un gusto" is the natural short form of "mucho gusto" (nice to meet you) that Peruvians use in everyday introductions — slightly less formal, but still polite and safe with anyone.
