Greetings
There are generally no time elemental
greetings in Hindi such as good morning,
good afternoon, etc…
Namastē is the most universal greeting
It is said with hands folded and a small
gesture of bowing
Namastē literally means 'I bow to you'

Greetings

It is customary to touch the feet of elders
Namaskār is the more formal​
form of Namastē

Pronunciation Tip

Did you notice the 'ā' in Namaskār
The sound of ā is 'aa' like in father
The same goes for 'ē' in Namastē
The sound is like 'e' in eight

Common Gestures

The infamous Indian head bobble
Indians are often seen performing a cryptic 'head
bobble' indicating a 'YES' or 'OK' if moved up and
down and 'NO' if moved from
side to side!

Norms in India

Culturally Speaking – Showing respect
jī (जी) may be added to the words 'yes' and 'no' to give it
a more polite tone
Jī may also be added to a person's name as a sign
of respect
-to relations like 'grandfather (dādā jī)
-to people’s names/ surname to show respect
*Eg: In India, Mahatma Gandhi is known simply
as Gandhijī (गां
धीजी)

Culturally Speaking – Comfort zone
In India, even shaking hands with a member of
the
opposite sex is not very common in smaller towns
and villages
Casual hugging and kissing on the cheek may also
be considered inappropriate - although these are
slowly becoming common in the larger
towns or metros

Grammar Tip

In English, we usually have the

The interrogation follows the subject for
'Wh' type of questions

Pronouncing ‘Āp’

You (Āp) stresses on the first ā
The pronunciation follows the same
pattern​ in ‘harp’
as
Phonetically, we would write harp as hārp

To view this with Audio and practice games, visit www.CultureAlley.com/Hindi
Pronouncing haiṁ

The last ṁ in haiṁ is pronounced
nasally and carries a slight 'n' sound to
it like in 'angst'
