How do you say "good morning" and "how are you?" in your native language?

[zombiebabe]

the title says it all... i do speak 3 languages (English, French and Kreol).. so:
in English its already told
in French; bonjour! comment ca va?
in Kreol;bonzour! ki manier?

[HandsomeRaj]

In my mother tongue - Tamil of Tamil Nadu, South India
1) kalai nalla (Kalai - morning; nalla - good) or 'suprabhatam' - a common word between various indian languages derived from Sanskrit (where 'prabhatam' is morning & 'su' is good)
2) Nee / Neenga eppadi erukkai / eruukeil (nee is for same or younger age group while neengal is for older to you / respected for 'you'; eppadi - are you; erukkai for someone is for same or younger age group while 'errukeil' is for older to you / respected)

In the languages I'm conversant with
Hindi (National Language of India)
1) Suprabhat
2) aap kaise ho (how are you for someone older or respected - use of word 'aap') / tu / tum kaise / kaisi ho / hain (tu/tum denotes addressing a person of the same / younger age; kaise is for addressing a male while 'kaisi' is for addressing a female & likewise for 'ho' / 'hain')

Kannada (State language of Karnataka - South India)
1) How are you - nee aega iddhe

2) Gujarati - already explained by @DanteSparda

Punjabi (State language of Punjab)
1) literally is 'Savera de cage' but the common usage is 'Sat Sri Akal' [sat means truth, sri is an honorific word and Akaal (or Akal) means the timeless being]
2) kine tuhanu hana

Sindhi (Part of Pakistan and earlier undivided India)
1) Subho Bakhair
2) Keeyan aahyo

Italian
1) buongiorno
2) come stai

I have a few more languages but I'm done for now lol

[zombiebabe]

i wonder if you could help me learn hindi language?

[HandsomeRaj]

Sure - long distance learning works too :) if you are game then sure why not :)

[man32]

I was about to write for tamizh. But u covered all languages... so better leave it to experts like u...

[zombiebabe]

its because i'm in a relationship with a hindu

[HandsomeRaj]

I'm no expert - just know a few languages thanks to my genetics :D + I love learning languages bro :D I can write a few more like Telugu, Malayalam, Marathi, Konkani etc too :D ;) since these are just the basics :D

[HandsomeRaj]

Not necessary all Hindus speak Hindi :) I know a few here who are Hindu but don't speak Hindi :D

[HandsomeRaj]

In German : 1. guten Morgen
2. wie geht's? wie geht es dir?

in Persian that i consider as my second language : 1. sobh be kheir
2. chetori? khoobi? haletun chetore? hale shoma khoobe? khoob hastin? and if you're very friendly with someone you can say : chetor metori? =)))) Persian is really fun to talk.

[lumos]

Finnish: hyvää huomenta (or just "huomenta"), mitä sinulle kuuluu/miten menee.
Swedish: god morgon, hur är det/hur går det/hur mår du

[man32]

My mother tongue is tamizh
Good morning - kaalai vanakkam (kaalai=morning: vanakkam=greeting)
How are you? = eppadi irrukeenga (how are you asking elderly person with respect)

[ilexecescort]

Hebrew:
Good Morning - Boker Tov
How are you - Ma Nishma? (more like "how's it going") or Ma Shlomja (pronounce the J like in Spanish) when asking a male or Ma Shlomej when asking a female.

[lonerider]

[NoblesseOblige]

"Hey. Did you get the Tim Bits?"
"Hey. How's it goin?"

[Anonymous]

I am an indian we speak Hindi...
good morning - suprabhaat
how r u? - kaise ho?

[lonerider]

It would be correct to say that I am an indian and I speak hindi. Only 40% of our population is hindi speaking. your sentence is misleading.

[rumpumpa]

LOL India has 29 states! Which means almost 29 languages! and in 28 states have national approved language which is Hindi! So goodbye and hello is different between indians as well if you are from diff state!

by the way i am telugu.
and good morning is still goodmrining
and how are you is "ella unaru"

[Opinion Owner]

I speak Hindi... fine
i knw there r more than 1000 languages spoken in India bt in northern part people genrally speak Hindi.

[HandsomeRaj]

India originally has over or appx 780 languages. The official listed languages with and w/o scripts is 122 :D

220 have disappeared in the past 50 years and it is estimated that another 150 may vanish in the next 50 since people migrate, kids don't learn the native tongue etc :)

[rthomas43]

Good morning.

[zombiebabe]

[teasegirl]
