Greeting People in Kannada
In Kannada, there are different ways to greet people depending on the time of day and the level of formality. It is essential to use the appropriate greeting to show respect and politeness. Let's start with the most basic and commonly used greetings.
Examples:

| ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ | Namaskāra | Hello/Goodbye (Formal) |
| ಹಲೋ | Halō | Hello (Informal) |
| ಶುಭೋದಯ | Shubhōdaya | Good Morning |
| ಶುಭ ಸಂಜೆ | Shubha sanje | Good Evening |
| ಶುಭ ರಾತ್ರಿ | Shubha rātri | Good Night |
Cultural Note
In Kannada culture, it is common to greet people with a slight bow and palms pressed together in a gesture called "Namaskara" or "Namaste." This gesture is a sign of respect and can be used in various situations, such as meeting someone for the first time, saying goodbye, or thanking someone.
Asking 'How are you?' in Kannada
Once you have greeted someone, it's polite to ask how they are doing. In Kannada, there are different ways to ask 'How are you?' depending on the level of formality and the person you are addressing. Let's learn some common phrases to ask 'How are you?' in Kannada.
Examples:
| Kannada | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ನೀವು ಹೇಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ? | Nīvu hēgiddīri? | How are you? (Formal/Respectful) |
| ನೀನು ಹೇಗಿದ್ದೀಯ? | Nīnu hēgiddīya? | How are you? (Informal/Friendly) |
| ನೀವು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದ್ದೀರಾ? | Nīvu chennāgiddīrā? | Are you well? (Formal/Respectful) |
| ನೀನು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದ್ದೀಯಾ? | Nīnu chennāgiddīyā? | Are you well? (Informal/Friendly) |
To respond to these questions, you can use the following phrases:
Examples:
| Kannada | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ಹೌದು, ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ | Haudu, chennāgiddēne | Yes, I am well |
| ಸರಿ, ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು | Sari, dhanyavādagaḷu | Okay, thank you |
| ಅಲ್ಲ, ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಕಷ್ಟ | Alla, svalpa kaṣṭa | No, I am not well (lit. I have some difficulty) |
