Since we are in North Sumatera, especially in Medan,
if you meet someone, you can say, “Horas”. Horas in English, it means
“Welcome”. In North Sumatera, we can find many kinds of greetings, there are :
1. Horas
from Batak Toba Language.
2. Mejuah-juah
from Batak Karo Language.
3. Njuah-juah
from Batak Simalungun Language.
4. Ahoy
from Malay Language.
5. Yahobu
from Nias Language.
Because we are in North Sumatera, especially in
Medan, I would like to invite you to say “Horas”, for 3 times and rise your
hand with your full spirit, like this “Horas, Horas, Horas”. 1, 2, 3 “Horas,
Horas, Horas”.
