Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things): Arnold Rehm: Alles über Schiff und See. Eine fröhliche Verklarung für Küstenbewohner und Landratten. Hamburg 1985, ISBN 3-8225-0026-7, S. 19 Ahoy’ originated in the seafaring world, where it was used as an interjection to catch the attention of crew members and as a general greeting. It is often used today by participants in playful imitations of pirate speak. With respect to people here who still think that " there" in greetings doesn't refers to distance here is my explanation:Meaning “hello” or “hey there” in nautical language, “Ahoy” is a classic and versatile nautical greeting that can be used to say hello or get someone’s attention on a ship. The term rarely appeared in dictionaries in the 19th century. It is not included in the " Urduden" dictionary published in 1880. The Grimm brothers’ Dictionary of German (Deutsches Wörterbuch) did not recognize the word at the time; it did not appear in the first volume, published in 1852, with entries up to the keyword "allverein". The DWB's second edition published in 1998, documents the earliest uses of the term as occurring in 1846 and 1848. [12] In addition, the original index cards for the dictionary, which are kept in the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, do not contain any earlier entries. The standard work "Etymologisches Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache" by Friedrich Kluge lists ahoi as a separate entry since the 1999 edition. [13] In Old Russian " goy" was a standard greeting [ citation needed] which is still present in Russian folk fairy tales. In 1837 the Danish novelist Andreas Nikolai de Saint-Aubain, who published under the pseudonym Carl Bernhard, used the phrase "‚Ahoi, en Sejler!‘ raabte Matrosen fra Mærset". [45] In the same year Saint-Aubin's German translation "‚Ahoi, ein Segler!‘, rief der Matrose vom Mers", is an example of early evidence in the German-speaking world. The Swedish author Emilie Flygare-Carlén wrote in 1842: "Örnungen reddes till en ny färd på den klarnade böljan; manskabet skrek sitt muntra ‚å-hoj!‘" [46] The German translator of 1843 avoided the use of å-hoj Berlin 1846, zitiert nach Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm: Deutsches Wörterbuch. 2. Aufl. Leipzig, Stuttgart 1983ff s. v. ahoi, Zitat in der Schreibweise des Wörterbuchs

Firstly, educated people (mostly native speakers) say that before, when sailors wanted to draw the attention of someone at a distance (to hail a ship or anything else at a distance) they would shout, " Ahoy, there!" in which " there" refers to a distant object. Sometimes "there" was followed by the identity of the object: " Ahoy, there, ship/captain/matey".

Hi/Hello/Greetings/Hey, There" is not impolite or anyway rude, but mostly appears in informal usage. Scandinavian languages have adopted derivatives of the English form ahoy and ohoy in various different spellings. In Danish it is ahoj [40] and ohoj, also ohøj, aahøj oder ohej, [41] in Norwegian ohoi, [42] in Swedish ohoj and å-hoj. [43] In Icelandic ohoj can be combined with the English word ship; which takes the form Sjipp og hoj (Ship ahoy). [44] This is also used in Norwegian, as Skip ohoi. Verner Dahlerup u.a.: Ordbog over det danske sprag, Band 1; Kopenhagen 1919; s.v. ahoj; ISBN 87-00-23301-3 This is a command meaning “go forward at full speed” in nautical language. The phrase comes from the era of steam-powered ships, which used steam engines to power their propellers and move through the water.
