what are you trying to achieve?
echo HELLO will display a message in the current terminal.
the command `tty` does indeed report the current terminal device,
I don't know why you would want to to echo "HELLO" but
alias tty='echo HELLO' should work.
If you are trying set a greeting message for users logging in, then
this can be done by editing the /etc/issue or /etc/issue.net files
