Now that you know how to greet someone in Sindhi, let's learn how to introduce yourself. When introducing yourself, it is common to state your name and ask the other person's name. Here's an example conversation:
| اوه، توهان کي ملڻ ۾ خوشي ٿي || Oh, tuhān ke milan mein khushi thī || Oh, nice to meet you


A: سُهَاڻوَءُ، مُنيڪُنَہُرُون ڇُڏُنَدُو?
|-
B: سُهَاڻوَءُ، مُني سُبَيھُمَا ڇُڏُنَدُو. تُهَانِ جي نالُو ڇُڏَنَدَہُ؟
A: مُنيڪُنَہُرُون ڇُڏَنَدَہُ.


Translation:
| اسان کي ملڻ ۾ خوشي ٿي || Āsan ke milan mein khushi thī || We are happy to meet
A: Good morning, what is your name?
B: Good morning, my name is Subhama. What is your name?
A: My name is Kunahuroon.


In Sindhi, the phrase "مُنيڪُنَہُرُون ڇُڏُنَدُو?" (What is your name?) is commonly used to ask someone's name. You can replace "مُنيڪُنَہُرُون" (my name) with your own name when introducing yourself.
|-


== Introducing Others ==
| مان سمجهان ٿو ته ... || Mā samjhan tho tha ... || I think that ...


Apart from introducing yourself, it is also important to know how to introduce others in Sindhi. Let's look at an example conversation:
|-


A: سُهَاڻوَءُ، هيڪَانُ ٿُو؟
| توهان کي ڪيئن مدد ڪري سگهان؟ || Tuhān ke kīyun madad kari saghān? || How can I help you?
B: سُهَاڻوَءُ، هوَ ڇُڏُنَدُو. تُهَانِ جي نالُو ڇُڏَنَدَہُ؟
A: هوَ مُنيڪُنَہُرُون ڇُڏَنَدَہُ.
C: سُهَاڻوَءُ، مُني عَلِيصَا ڇُڏُنَدَہُ.


Translation:
|}
A: Good morning, who is this?
B: Good morning, he is my friend. What is your name?
A: His name is Kunahuroon.
C: Good morning, my name is Alisa.


In Sindhi, the phrase "هيڪَانُ ٿُو؟" (Who is this?) is commonly used to ask about someone's identity. You can replace "هوَ" (he) with the person's name or relationship when introducing them to someone else.
Using these phrases will help you make a positive impression when meeting new people. Remember to be polite and friendly, as Sindhi culture places great importance on respect and hospitality.


== Cultural Insights ==
=== Cultural Nuances ===


Sindhi culture places great importance on greetings and introductions. When greeting someone, it is customary to use honorific titles and show respect. In formal settings, such as business meetings or religious gatherings, people often greet each other with the phrase "عَسَلَمَالِيڪُم" (Peace be upon you). This greeting is also used as a sign of respect to elders and people of higher social status. In informal settings, friends and family members often greet each other with the phrase "سَباهُ ٿُو" (Good morning).
Understanding the cultural context behind greetings and introductions can make a significant difference in your interactions. Here are a few points to keep in mind:


In Sindhi culture, it is common for people to introduce themselves by stating their full name along with their father's name. This tradition reflects the importance of family and lineage in Sindhi society. It is also customary to exchange pleasantries and inquire about each other's well-being during introductions. This shows genuine interest and care for the other person. Remember to reciprocate these gestures when interacting with Sindhi speakers to show respect and build rapport.
* '''Non-verbal cues''': In Sindhi culture, a smile and eye contact are essential when greeting someone. It shows warmth and respect.


== Practice Exercises ==
* '''Formal vs. informal''': Use formal greetings when addressing elders or in a professional context. Informal greetings are more suitable for friends and peers.


Now it's time to practice what you've learned! Complete the following exercises to reinforce your understanding of greetings and introductions in Sindhi.
