Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Angie, Namaskar or Namaste (the same word; either of them can be used) are the words that we, in Nepal (or the buddhists and hindu people) basically use to greet the people ( like hellow and hi). Namaste needs some physical action as well, you join your both of the palms straight and raise them to the level of your neck and bow a bit your head and say namaskar. Going deeper, Namaskar not only means the means of greetings but also consists of expression of respect, adorance, affection and care. And i'm very excited to have such wonderful compliment from you, in fact, as english not being our mother language, I always fear if my english goes understandable and grammatically well. But i really try my best to make people understand it. LoL. I hope you're doing well, See you around!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Rupesh, Thanks! I am delighted to know what that means. I am a very curious person and love to learn things like that. I think you do a great job with your grammar and it is very understandable. The english language is very complex in is grammar and syntax. Me, Being a southerner, we just plain re write the english language! I butcher it most of the time. I do know how to use the english language properly when I have to but most of the time I am too lazy to do so! I speak a little french. It is much easier to use grammatically. Thanks, Angie in SC " The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything that comes along their way.
