Do You Know: Hello ! How to comes in our mouth ?

 

Hello !

Whether to call or receive, what is the first word that comes out of your mouth? Hello, but have you ever wondered where did this hello come from? Why do people all over the world say hello first after picking up the phone?

 

Whether it is any corner of the world, whether it is old or children or young, everyone says hello as soon as they pick up the phone. We all have been listening since childhood. But you will be surprised to know that there is a very funny secret behind this too.

 

Word Meaning:

 

If the Oxford English Dictionary is to be believed, the word hello was first used in 1827. Hello does not mean hi. In the 1830s, the word hello was used to attract people's attention. The word hello is derived from hala or hola. It is derived from the German or French word hola, which means how are you or are you there or are you listening.

 

It is said that the sailors could not see each other's boat during the night in the beach, so they called 'Ahoy! 'Hoy'. Apart from this, it is also said that the word hello originally comes from hola which means to stop and pay attention. Hello didn't mean hi until the invention of the telephone.

 

Was Graham Bell's girlfriend really named Hello?

 

Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the telephone, had the privilege of inventing the telephone on March 10, 1876. Some people believe that Graham Bell's girlfriend's name was Hello, which is why he used to use the word hello-hello while talking to her. And seeing the same people also started saying hello words. But this is not true. The root reason for this is something else.


Graham Bell with Her Girlfriend (Wife) Mabel Hubbard 


Actually, Graham Bell's girlfriend was Margaret Hello, there is no evidence available

anywhere. It is said that Graham Bell's girlfriend's name was Mabel Hubbard and he

married Mabel in 1877 and after marriage he changed his name to Mabel Bell.

 

First of all it was said:

 

Apart from this, you might not even know that Graham Bell never used the word "Hello". After inventing the telephone, he first told his assistant on the phone, "Come-here. I want to see you." Apart from this, it is also said that Graham Bell used to use the word ego. This word started being used before talking on the phone.


The name of the edition also comes behind the word hello. At that time, Editions considered the telephone only as a business device, which could talk from one party to another. But the problem with that was how the man on the other side of the telephone would know that the man on that side wanted to say something. Editions recognized the problem. He thought why not listen to it at a distance of 10 to 20 feet.


Graham Bell with His First Telephone

When 'Ahoy' was spoken at this distance, the voice came on the other side. But Thomas Edison heard 'Ahoy' wrongly and in 1877 he proposed to say 'Hello'. It is believed that Bell says "Ahoy!" when talking on the telephone which is changed to the word hello.

 

For this, on August 15, 1877, he wrote a letter to TBA Smith, president of Pittsburgh's 'Central District and Printing Telegraph Company', and said that 'Hello' should be spoken as the first word on the telephone. When he called for the first time, the first thing he said was 'Hello'.


 

This is the reason why this word of this edition was adopted in the United States. It was used for the first time in a public exchange, in New Haven, on January 28, 1878. On 28 January 1878, a dilemma arose between the word hello and the old word. However, later in the 1880s the word hello was fully adopted.

 

In 1907, AT&T President Frederick Perry Fish credited Edison for the first time he discovered the word hello. According to him, Editions first asked "Are you there?" Or what are you ready to talk "Are you ready to talk?" The word hello was used as an alternative to. Let us tell you that in the beginning people used to use Are You There, while talking on the telephone.
