1. '''Namaskāram. Nā pēru [Your Name].''' - Hello. My name is [Your Name].
These phrases will help you present yourself and engage the other person in conversation.


You can replace "[Your Name]" with your actual name to introduce yourself. For example, if your name is John, you can say "Namaskāram. Nā pēru John."
=== Formal vs. Informal Language ===


Apart from your name, you may also want to share some additional information about yourself, such as where you're from or what you do. Here are a few more phrases you can use to provide more details:
Understanding the difference between formal and informal language in Telugu is crucial for effective communication. Here are some key points:


2. '''Nēnu [Your Nationality]''' - I am [Your Nationality].

3. '''Nāku [Your Profession]''' - I am a [Your Profession].
4. '''Nāku [Your Age] vāru''' - I am [Your Age] years old.


For example, if you're from the United States, you can say "Nēnu Amērīkādi" to indicate your nationality. If you're a student, you can say "Nāku vidyārthi" to convey that you're a student.
* '''Informal Language''': Used among friends or younger individuals.


Remember to use the appropriate level of formality when introducing yourself. Telugu, like many other languages, has different levels of formality depending on the situation and the person you're talking to.

Telugu-speaking regions have a rich cultural heritage, and greetings play an essential role in the social fabric of the community. Here are some cultural insights and regional variations related to greetings and introductions in Telugu-speaking regions:
|-


1. '''Touching Feet''' - In traditional Telugu culture, it is common for younger individuals to show respect to their elders by touching their feet as a gesture of reverence. This is known as "pādābhiṣēkaṁ" and is often done when greeting parents, grandparents, or respected elders.
| మీరు ఎలా ఉన్నారు? || [miː.ru eː.lɑː u.n.nɑː.ru] || నీవు ఎలా ఉన్నావు? || [niː.vu eː.lɑː u.n.nɑː.vu]


2. '''Nāmaste''' - The gesture of joining hands and saying "Nāmaste" is a common form of greeting in Telugu culture. It is a sign of respect and is often used when meeting someone for the first time or in formal settings.
|-


3. '''Regional Variations''' - While Telugu is spoken across different regions, there may be slight variations in greetings and introductions. For example, in some regions, people may use "Nīvu" instead of "Nāku" to refer to themselves. It's always helpful to learn the specific greetings and introductions used in the region you're visiting or interacting with.
| మీ పేరు ఏమిటి? || [miː pɛː.ru eː.mi.ʈi] || నీ పేరు ఏమిటి? || [niː pɛː.ru eː.mi.ʈi]


4. '''Family Connections''' - In Telugu culture, family connections are highly valued. When introducing yourself, it is common to mention your family background, such as your father's name or your ancestral village. This helps establish a sense of connection and familiarity.
|-


5. '''Non-Verbal Communication''' - In addition to verbal greetings, non-verbal communication plays an important role in greetings and introductions in Telugu culture. Smiling, maintaining eye contact, and using appropriate body language are all considered important when greeting someone.
| మీతో కలవడం చాలా ఆనందం || [miː.t̪oː kə.lə.ʋə.ɖʌ̃m] || నీతో కలవడం చాలా ఆనందం || [niː.t̪oː kə.lə.ʋə.ɖʌ̃m]
