'malo' and 'lelei' are two separate words in Samoan....'malo' means "well done"/"good job", or as an informal greeting, "hi"/"howdy"...'lelei' on the other hand means "good"...as opposed to bad...however, in the Tongan language, spoken in the Kingdom of Tonga, another Polynesian island group...the phrase or greeting, "Malo e lelei!" means "Greetings!" or "Hello!".....perhaps that is the original phrase of which the above question is being asked...
