In Mandarin "Nin2 hao3" is a formal greeting and "Ni3 hao3" is an informal greeting. I'm not quite sure what the Cantonese formal greeting is, but "Nei hou" is the informal greeting. If you are dealing with a Mandarin speaker, make sure to say "Ren4shi nin2, wo3 hen3 gao1xing4" or "Wo3 hen3 gao1xing4 ren4shi nin2." These two phrases mean "I am very glad to meet you" or literally "I am very glad to be acquainted with you." Hope these are helpful.

If you mean verbal as in talking, it is Ni-hao (nee-how)

As a Chinese,I suggest you say "du bu qi, wo na yang shi bu dui de, xia bu wei li." That means "I'm sorroy, that's my fault. I'll never do that again."
