Bien hallado Spanish expresion

Es cierto que por aquí todavía se oye "bien hallado(s)/bien hallada(s) como respuesta a "bienvenido(s)/bienvenida(s)", si bien ya no es tan habitual. En inglés, se puede contestar simplemente "thank you". Puede redactarse también en una sola palabra, según algunos diccionarios.
bienvenido / bienhallado
bienvenido / bienhallado

There's a similar old fashioned greeting in Greek, after one welcomes you: «Καλώς σας βρήκα» [kaˈlɔs sas ˈvri.ka] --> (you're) found well (2nd p. pl. formal).
So, it goes like this:
-«Καλώς ήλθατε!» [kaˈlɔs ˈil.θa.te] --> (You are) welcomed («ήλθατε» is 2nd. p. pl. aorist form of 1st p. sing. «ήλθα», I came, arrived).
-«Καλώς σας βρήκα!» [kaˈlɔs sas ˈvri.ka] --> (you're) found well (the thinking is that I find you well, in sound form, and healthy).
It's a reply only used after one welcomes you.
