Yasu can mean "hi" or "good-by" "welcome" all sorts of things in Greek, depending on how you express it in tone, and the curcumstances, as well as your age (young people through the sour "Yasu" around more, at least, I've noticed).

Yass-sas means hello in Greek, like the way you would answer the telephone. A formal hello greeting.

Yasu - more "punk" greeting.

That's my read on it from living around a full blooded Greek for 30plus years, and 4 trips to Greece.
