Hi �Bare" ! You have me zapped! How nice to know that you were in India and wore a Sari and bindi. Were you able to walk draped in a sari without tripping over? ;-) True! Namaste is an informal greeting of "Namaskar".
Have a nice evening. Namaskar! :-))

Namaskar:)))
I haven �t been to India. I haven �t travelled so far away but the world came to me ( my town - �ibenik ).
We have International Children Festival during summer and artist and children from all over the world come with their magnificent performances, dances,plays,workshops... Children can participate as young guides ( not real guides - they are with groups to make them feel more comfortable, they spend a lot of time with them and it comes handy for information... and some great friendships stay for long time afterward) , reporters etc. It �s great for practicing languages ,too and get familiar with different cultures.
I was lucky to be a part of it for some time ( I was a teenager then) and I met wonderful people from Egypt , Finland, China, the USA and many other countries...good people,artists and educators.
Our guests from India were very special... we spent a lot of time with them, learnt some Hindu words and were very curious about their way of life. We were wearing bindi all the time in our own town- looked strange for other people but we didn �t care. Later,we continued our correspondence for quite a long time. I still keep some souvenirs from that time ...They were really great and we had hard time to say goodbye...
but this is not a topic for our forum, sorry

In Danish we say tak ... and we say it very often!  : tak for mad (thank you for the meal - every time you finish any meal with anybody  ) - - tak fordi du kom ( thanks for coming) Mange tak! (thank you very much) tusind tak (a thousand thanks)

In America (USA) we say "Thank you" or Thanks" or "Duuuude!!"
In Germany (in addition to Ladybird �s post) I also often hear "Merci" quite often--obviously from the French but pronounced slightly different. |
