🇬🇧 Interjection. More casual and friendly than 'hello'. Used in conversation and writing (texts, emails to friends). Common extensions: 'Hi there!', 'Hi everyone!', 'Hi guys!' (informal address to a group).
In modern English, 'hi' has largely replaced 'hello' in informal speech, especially among younger people. 'Hi' is also common in casual written communication — texts, emails, and social media messages. In American English, 'Hey' is another very common casual greeting.
