Hindi Greetings Beyond Namaste | Generated by AI
In Hindi, “Namaste” (नमस्ते) is the most common greeting. It literally means “I bow to you” and is used both for hello and goodbye.
You can also use other greetings depending on context:
- Namaskar (नमस्कार) – a slightly more formal version of Namaste.
- Pranam (प्रणाम) – very respectful, often used when greeting elders.
- Suprabhat (सुप्रभात) – good morning.
- Shubh Sandhya (शुभ संध्या) – good evening.
- Shubh Ratri (शुभ रात्रि) – good night.
- Namaste ji / Namaskar ji – adding “ji” makes it more polite.
👉 If you want a friendly, everyday greeting, “Namaste” is the safest and most widely understood.
Do you want me to also show you casual greetings (like how younger people say “hi” or “hello” in Hindi)?
