i wonder How do you say goodnight to someone from India? until some one told me taht "shubh ratri" subha means good or pure. Ratri means night.. So when you say SUBAH RATRI THAT WILL BE IN HINDI FOR GOODNIGHT. Namakaram, namashkar or namashte have same meaning but different dialect you can say this word on any occasion to greet people either you are meeting them for eg Hello or departing for eg bye. Namashte is used in wide range in India and anywhere in India in any part or region all different language background will accept and understand it. it really interesting to study India translation, good thing that iaflindia.com has their translation and interpretation services you can read more about their other translation services there such as Hindi Translation,Farsi Translation,Sindhi Translation Arabic Translation and more.
