Sanskrit alternatives

[Dr. Tirumala Kulakarni]

Dears

A school I know wishes to introduce Indian words for these common usages.

`Hello!' - when we see known person. Hari Om is one option. Other options are required.

`Hi' 

`Bye Bye'

It is good if some references from Kaavya etc. is available.

Namaste.

Here are my humble suggestions-

Hello and Hi- namaste, namaskAram, namAmi, namAMsi, vandanaM, vandanAni, praNAmaH, aBhivAdanaM, abhivAdaye.

Bye Bye-
General- Subhamastu, Subham bhUyAt, Sivamastu

If speaking to younger ones, then AShIH, vRddhirastu, vardhatAM, would look decent at the end of conversation.

When speaking to elders- pAdasparSaH, again, abhivAdanaM or something similar will look good.

Do not know about Hello, but "Bye", as I read, is the short form of "Good Bye" which again is short of "God be with you."

So "ISvarAnugraha-prAptirastu", or "siddhirastu" - such kinds of usages could be apt.

Some more-
1. for Hello-

Especially for Elders- nato'smi, praNato'smi, vandehaM, paraNamAmi

General- namo namaH

2. for Bye-
bhadram te

(It is used in vAlmIki rAmAyaNa- though in certain other contexts also.. but may be it can be used here as well.)

(In our culture, elders do not say, "namaste" to younger ones. They just receive it and utter the blessing. Otherwise, it is considered as AyukShINam.
And while parting, elders say the blessings, and younger ones just receive with folded hands and head bent. May be younger ones can say- dhanyo'smi / dhanyAsmi or kRtArtho'smi / kRtArthAsmi or anugRhIto'smi / anugRhItAsmi in return of their blessings.)

Do not know whether these are apt for the modern day exchanging of greetings.

'Hande hanje halaa'hvaane neechaam cheteem sakheem prati' ityamarah Naatya-varge. I think, the Sanskrit word 'Halaa' used in the theatrical literature is the root of the modern English  word 'Hello'. Rest, Vidvaamshah pramaanam, iti sham.

Very good invention. But in the above it is only dramatic language and used in respect of

 हण्डे हञ्जे हलाऽऽह्वाने नीचां चेटीं सखीं प्रति ( १. ७. ४३९) 

and not for all other male companions. Anyhow interesting invention.

Thanks

`Hi' 

I think 'ayi' will be apt.

[Pl. see Apte Sanskrit - English dictionary for this word अयि for some kAvya references of this usage.

 'Arya' or 'AryA' will also be fine  for 'hello',  depending on the gender being addressed.  

Since in the school most students will be addressing each other, the word सखि / सख will be appropriate. 

Here are two extra expressions, most used:

In the modern usage we have 'Have a nice day'.  This can be rendered in Sanskrit, on the basis of the srIrudra (chamakapashna) mantra expression: 'sUShA cha mE', 'sudinam cha mE' as 'sudinam bhUyAt/astu'.  'Good morning' can take the form of 'suprabhAtam'.

`Bye Bye'
