I heard there are three English words that are used globally but I'm not sure what are those.

I'm sure one of them is O.K.

Please tell me what are, or should be, the rest two.

Thank you.

I don't know, but if I had to guess, I would say "bye-bye" and either "hi" or "hello," all of which seem to be universal, along with "OK."

I think bye and OK is popular

I'm not sure about Hello. Somebody tell me that happy birthday is also very popular one.

How can I find the prove of it?? Well, I don't have to but I just really want to know... Razz
