Some of the most important phrases to memorize are "Manahoana" and "Salama," which mean "hello." "Manahoana" is a more casual greeting, while "Salama" is more formal and respectful. Depending on the context, you may want to use one or the other.
== Examples ==


When asking someone their name, you can say "Inona ny anaranao?" or "Anaranao dia inona?" The first one is more casual and can be used with friends or people of similar age. The second one is more respectful and is better suited for formal situations or when addressing elders.
Now, let’s see how these vocabulary words can be used in sentences. Below are several examples of how to introduce yourself in Plateau Malagasy.


To introduce yourself in Plateau Malagasy, you can say "Isika dia ..." followed by your name, age, and hometown. For example, "Isika dia Jean, miara-dia eo amin'ny 30 taona, avy any Antananarivo" means "We are Jean, 30 years old, from Antananarivo."
{| class="wikitable"


Lastly, if you haven't seen someone for a while, you can say "Tsy misy fahita anao intsony," which means "Long time no see." This phrase shows that you still remember the person and value their relationship.

== Cultural Insights ==
|-


In Madagascar, introductions are an important part of social interactions. People often ask for each other's names and family backgrounds, as well as their professions and interests. In rural areas, people may also ask about each other's ancestors and the region they come from.
| Salama, izaho dia Rina. || səˈlɑː.mə, iˈzɑ.hu ˈdi.ɑ ˈri.nɑ || Hello, my name is Rina.


When meeting someone for the first time, it's important to show respect by using formal phrases like "Salama" and "Anaranao dia inona." You should also avoid using first names unless you are specifically invited to do so. Instead, use titles and honorifics such as "Monsieur" for men or "Madame" for women, followed by the surname.
|-


If you are unsure about the social norms in a particular situation, it's always better to err on the side of caution and show more respect than less. This can help you avoid offending your hosts and build positive relationships.
| Izaho dia 25 taona. || iˈzɑ.hu ˈdi.ɑ 25 ˈtʰɑ.ʊ̯.nɑ || I am 25 years old.


== Practice ==
|-


Now, let's practice introducing yourself in Plateau Malagasy. Use the phrases and vocabulary you just learned to create your own introduction. You can either write it down or record yourself saying it out loud.
| Avy any Antananarivo aho. || ˈɑ.vʲi ʔɑ.ni ˈɑn.tɑ.nɑ.nɑ.ˈɾi.vu ˈɑ.hu || I come from Antananarivo.


Here is an example introduction:
|-
 
| Misaotra, faly mahafinaritra anao. || miˈsɔː.trɑ, ˈfɑ.li mɑ.hɑ.fi.nɑ.ˈɾi.tɾɑ ʔɑˈnɑ.u || Thank you, nice to meet you.
 
|-


"Manahoana, isika dia Sarah sy miara-dia eo amin'ny 27 taona, avy any Fianarantsoa. Inona ny anaranao?" (Hello, we are Sarah and friends, 27 years old, from Fianarantsoa. What's your name?")
| Tsara ho fantatra ianao. || ˈtsɑ.rɑ hu ˈfɑn.tɑ.tɾɑ iˈnɑ.u || Nice to meet you.


You can also try to adapt your introduction to different situations, such as formal vs. informal or meeting elders vs. peers. This will help you become more confident in your ability to communicate in Plateau Malagasy and connect with Malagasy people.
|-
 
| Izaho dia mpianatra. || iˈzɑ.hu ˈdi.ɑ mˈpi.ɑ.nɑ.trɑ || I am a student.
 
|-
 
| Manana fianakaviana tsara aho. || mɑˈnɑ.nɑ fi.ɑ.nɑ.kɑ.vi.ˈɑ.nɑ ˈtsɑ.rɑ ˈɑ.hu || I have a good family.
