In German it is also "Hai" for shark and it sounds exactly like the English "hi". Which, when used as a greeting in Germany, can provoke the other person to pretend being unable to understand English and ask 'Wo' in mock panic. "Wo" is German for where. It's probaply the oldest joke about English-German homophones.
