The greeting is "Hujambo" and the reply "Sijambo.
You then say: "Habari gani?" (how are you) and the inevitable reply is "Nzuri".
If the other person is older, or if you want to treat them with respect, you may address them as "Mzee" (muzzay) after the greeting.
If you want to sympathise with someone who has a pile of work to do, you could try "Pole kwa kaazi" (sorry about all the work. The plural would be "poleni". "Pole"/"poleni" is a useful word expressing sympathy for anything you could think of.
