Telugu Vocabulary → Daily Life Vocabulary → Greeting and Introducing Yourself

As a Telugu language teacher, one of the first things I teach my students is how to greet and introduce themselves in Telugu. It is important to know these basic Telugu phrases as they will enable you to start conversations with Telugu speakers and better connect with them. In this lesson of our "Complete 0 to A1 Telugu Course," we will cover the following basic Telugu phrases:

Greetings

In Telugu culture, greetings are an important way to show respect and build good relationships. Here are some commonly used Telugu greetings:

Telugu	Pronunciation	English
నమస్కారము (namaskāramu)	nuh-muh-skā-ruh-mu	Hello/goodbye
హలో (halō)	huh-lō	Hello
హాయ్ (hāy)	hā-y	Hi
గుడ్ మార్నింగ్ (guḍ mārninḡ)	guḍ mār-ninḡ	Good morning
గుడ్ ఆఫ్టర్నూన్ (guḍ āftarnūn)	guḍ āf-tar-nūn	Good afternoon
గుడ్ ఇవెనింగ్ (guḍ iveniṅḡ)	guḍ iv-ehn-inḡ	Good evening
గుడ్ నైట్ (guḍ nait)	guḍ nait	Good night

Introducing Yourself

After greeting someone, it is important to introduce yourself. This helps to start a conversation and build a relationship with the other person. Here are some Telugu phrases for introducing yourself:

• నేను [your name] (nēnu [your name]) - I am [your name].
• మనం [your name] కు వెళ్లింది (manaṁ [your name] ku vel-lin-di) - I came to [your name].
• మనం [your name] ను మాత్రమే తెలుసుకొన్నాము (manaṁ [your name] nu mātr-a-mē te-lu-su-kon-nā-mu) - We only know [your name].
• మనం [your name] లాగా ఉంది (manaṁ [your name] lā-gā un-di) - We are like [your name].

Use these phrases in your conversation to introduce yourself or ask someone else to introduce themselves to you.

Conclusion

Learning the basic Telugu phrases for greeting and introducing yourself is an important part of learning the Telugu language. It shows respect, builds connections, and helps you better understand the Telugu culture. I hope this lesson has been helpful in learning some basic Telugu vocabulary.
