English amusement

For many rural Bangladeshis, there is rarely an opportunity to practice the few English phrases they learn at school. But since I’ve been around, the people here have begun to take advantage of the situation by practising their English on me as I’m walking down the street. This has resulted in some amusing approximations for “hello” as they pass me by. Some of these have included:
“Thank you!”
“I love you!”
“Good!”
“I am fine!”
“Good morning” (at any time of the day).
