He can say "Hello"? Is it a different command than speak?
Roxy and I are working on "finding stuff". For fun I'll wrap up, a kitchen seasoning (LOL) and let her sniff it. Than I hide it and she has to find it.
Hades, well, he's got a mittfull of things. The most important I think is his "wait". He daydreams and forgets to listen, so he's unsure if I've told him another command or not. Puppy'ness, how wonderful
LOL

MUST know: stay and come. Those are the 2 most important to me. I want him to stay where I tell him too, and I want him to come back to where I am, no questions asked and no hesitation no matter what the situation or surroundings are. Everything else is gravy.
Gunnar knows
sit/sitz
down/platz
stay/bleib
heel/foos (not great at this yet but we're getting there- he's good off leash with it but on the leash he will walk loose but too far ahead)
leave it/aus (leave it can mean anything- the cat, Bruzer, a toy, someone elses food or bone, a passing dog, animal or person that I want him to avoid) aus is more when we are training and he's doing bite stuff, I use aus when I want him to release the tug.
take it
wait (used at the doorway)
up (used for many things- get in the truck, jump upon or over objects)
off (another multipurpose- mostly when he gets on the bed uninvited or wants to jump on you when you get home)
shh! (anti barking- a couple barks is all I need, I'll take it from there)
bring
search (when I hide things from him and release him to go find them)
go
halt (when walking that means stop and sit until released)
ok
backup- get out of my way!
slow- slow down you are walking too fast
Fun ones- not many
high 5
kisses (my wife does this one with him)
working on "crawl" a little bit.
gib laut (speak)
I probably missed one or 2 in there somewhere. I have hand signals for a lot of the main ones- come, down, sit, stay, go.

drop it
off (off the couch)

gentle
enough
go see (when he starts to hear or alert to something outside, I might tell him go see and he goes running around the perimeter doing his thing. LOL)
Knows to "go see" (insert a few names); my daughter, son and our dogs.
turn around
toy off (when I need him to take his toy off the coffee table. LOL)
We need to work on a lot of things; drop on recall, straighter fronts, his being "shot" (bang bang) he needs to die quicker. Then we're planning the limp, crawl and drop to his side. Gross trick, huh. I've been slacking for a while and some of his behavior is getting sloppy.
Chulita: sit, come, let's go, stay, wait, spin, high 5, shake, down, enough, crate
Jose: everything about like Chulita but spin. Oh, and I guess we don't really do high 5, just shake.
Toker: (new addition..son's dog)
sit
down
come (not formal)
stay (not very well)
chill (both feet up on your lap while she's sitting in front of you)
shake
bang (play dead)

Hmmm . . . we don't have many commands. Bimmer has taught the grrrrls that "where are your manners" means it's time to sit those happy little asses down Other than that, it's pretty much all conversational . . . They do come to my whistle when they're out in the pasture, and they know that NOW means immediately if not sooner. "The cowsies are being good" is something that I stumbled across that seems to deactivate Kharma's compulsive herding button in the mornings when I'm walking her on leash.
They "get" what a raised eyebrow means, lol!

Mine know all the basic commands (sit, down, stand, pay attention, stay, heel), house manners commands (go to your bed, kennel up, go potty, Hurry up, hup, off, move it, wait here, settle), plus they all know targeting with both paw and nose.
Moses knows "Go get ______ (insert name of toy)."
Rerun knows how to high five and "Go find ______ (insert name of pet)."
Taz knows how to roll over, speak, whisper, and is learning to pull a cart.
Tim knows how to roll over, paw his nose, and poop in the floor when I'm barefoot and not expecting it--but not so often that I watch for it.
Peanut (the cat) knows how to make us all do her bidding.
