    Halla, det er Bodil
    (impossible to translate)

    or

    Asker Fisk og Video, vær så god.
    (Asker Fish and Video, how may I help you?)

    I usually just use that last one, and most people just hang up or excuse themself and then hang up. Still, I wonder who would sell fish and videos in the same store.

    I always say, "Ja, det er Kristian", which directly translated means: "Yes, it's Kristian." I have no idea why I don't say "hello" or "hi" or anything similar - it's just an old habit I guess.

    Mine is very simple.

    I say, 'Hello, you are talking to the Greatest Man on Earth, an Absolute Prince among Men.' if a guy phones.

    If it's a woman calling I just say, 'Why aren't you in the kitchen?'

    "Hi", or "Yes" if I don't know who it is. "What" if it is someone I don't care about, "sup" if it's someone I know, "Heey <3" if it's my girlfriend.

    Depending who it is I'll give out a random quirky greeting, or an inside joke. However, if it's someone whom I don't know; I'll just answer "Hello."

    Sometimes I say 'Hello' in the most high-pitched voice I can, and sometimes I say 'yellow' or 'jello' instead of 'hello'
