How do you say hello up in Bengali?

There are several ways to say "hello" in Bengali, depending on the context and formality:

Formal:

* "Nomoshkar" (নমস্কার) - This is the most formal greeting, often used in professional settings or when addressing elders.

* "Shubho shokal" (শুভ সকাল) - Good morning.

* "Shubho dopahar" (শুভ দুপুর) - Good afternoon.

* "Shubho sondhya" (শুভ সন্ধ্যা) - Good evening.

Informal:

* "Aami" (আমি) - This literally translates to "I," but it's commonly used as a casual greeting among friends and family, similar to "hey" in English.

* "Kemon acho?" (কেমন আছো?) - How are you? This is a friendly greeting, used in informal settings.

* "Ki khabar?" (কি খবর?) - What's up? Another informal greeting.

* "Bhalo" (ভালো) - Good/well. This can be used as a response to "Kemon acho?"

The best way to choose the appropriate greeting depends on the situation and your relationship with the person you're talking to.
