Question:
I was watching a studio ghibli movie in japanese and a girl was saying "yahho" to a puppy.
Is that just a casual hello?
Answer:

- Yes, in this case almost "hay", which is also used between friends.
(I think it sounds more feminine. I've never used, but some of my female friends were using when they wanted to draw attention.)
Surprisingly, it comes from Yodelling "Yodel - Ay - EEE - Oooo",
"Yahho!!" is also used like "hooray!" or "yay!" in Japanese.
