The Italian "auguri" means "best wishes"; "chiamatemi" means "call me". Neither is a plausible translation of "hello". The obvious one, "ciao", is missing.

I thought Hello was invented with the telephone. Prior to that, English greetings were good morning/evening. What do Italians and French say when they pick up the phone? Allora?
