The word "hello" is the most commonly used in the world. "Hi" is informal word of "hello". How many people we meet informally in a day?. Besides, whenever pick or receive calls, we first say "hello" to both formal and informal people.
at first i was on the same wavelength with Hekmatullah and realized 'hi' to be the most common word but after visiting Sara's link i changed my mind.yes!'hi' is the most common word in initial steps of a conversation but not the most common of all words!
Let me say that, "The" is the most one. And it is very interesting that among names, it is "You".
It is based on the combined results of British English, American English and Australian English surveys of contemporary sources in English: newspapers, magazines, books, TV, radio and real life conversations - the language as it is written and spoken today.

'sorry' and 'no'... And what about 'yes'? :D

I've no clue which word is the most commonly used, but it should be "Thank you".
Thank you!
I'm sure it's the definite article. First I logically calculated that, then Sahar confirmed it. And the most often used letter in English is 'e'.
I love you
