As I am trying to learn a few words and phrases in Telugu, here are some notes on the words and phrases I am learning about! I will write words out as though it was in Spanish, because I think the pronunciation rules are a lot more consistent that way, and Spanish is my second language which I know much better (although am not fluent, yet). I might also include some notes in Spanish if it makes sense to me.

Also: No promises on perfect accuracy, these are my notes from my understanding more than anything else!

Greetings

Hello!

• hi: Casual, simple!
• Namaste: Less casual, maybe for respectfully greeting someone you are relatively comfortable with. En español, posiblemente como "hola [nombre]!"
• Namascara: Formal, greet an older person out of respect or similar. En español, posiblemente como "hola señora", "hola pastora", etc
