Selamun aleykum = salam aleikum, and it's actually an arabic word\greeting
it's a muslim's greeting, all muslims use it !
and it means Peace be upon you
hello = merhaba, selam
and you should say "selam aleikum", not only aleikum !

anything else ?!

Yes, what does aleikum mean?

Something like al-eiku-m ?

By the way turkish equivalent of "salam aleikum" is selâmün aleyküm. "u's" in arabic or farsi become 'ü' in turkish. That's almost a formula.
To keep up with the vocal harmony, "salam" has become "selâm". I guess "e" is for the unwritten a, and â is for the written long a.
The hat on "â" means keep it longer, but also usually after 'L', it means make "a" approach to "e", and pronounce it half way between "a" and "e".
There was a tendency to write "â" as "a" but some did, some didn't, some does and some doesn't.

nice comment selim !
selam means peace, and aleikum means be upon you, so it will be peace be upon you !
and I'm saying it in Arabic, in arabic we say Salam alaykum !

Thanks for your explaining, it also helped me !

And the response "Ve aleyküm selam" does that mean

"That be upon you, the Peace" ?


And I think the turkish of selamün aleyküm would be

Barış üzerinize olsun!

However peace reminds me of war so may be it's better to say

inside Peace be upon you; (Get crashed under peace )

as LoOlya said aleikum mean be upon you the tense here is in the plural like if we said Merhabalar

it's a muslim's greeting the reponse should be va alyekum al salam wich

mean same for you or ( like if u you give me back my greeting ).

but is Barış üzerinize olsun!
a turkish greeting sentence ?
