Gurkha Greeting
I work in a building guarded in part by an ex-Gurkha and I am aware that the people he directly works with are most likely not the most thoughtful or interested types. I would like to be able to greet him in the correct manner and throw a few phrases his way which show him that someone is aware of what he achieved. Can anyone here offer some phrases up, ideally with phonetic pronunciation as I am a language muppet. Also, try not to tell me I am saying hello when in fact I am somehow insulting him.
Cheers

Re: Gurkha Greeting
Namaste, namskar, ram ram, - are all greetings
Kasto hunu huncha? If you want to ask how he is (although this may lead to you being side swiped with a retalitory question in nepalese).
I'd stick to namaste

We've got about 7000 Nepali living in the Aldershot/Farnborough area now so this could be the new lingo around here soon.

Re: Gurkha Greeting
namaste is traditional; tic tac is like "alright?"
Bravo Bravo sets himself a depressingly low standard which he consistently fails to achieve.

Re: Gurkha Greeting
Never tried that one, usually go to Johnny Gurkhas in Victoria Road though there's a new one opened in the High Street where Owls used to be, went there a couple of weeks ago and boy was it a hot one! Massive portions too. Originally Posted by Cuddles
