Question

How do I say hello in Sanskrit? Is it Namas kāram?

Community Answer

Namas kāram is not Sanskrit, but Hindi, as is namaskar or Namas te (though namas te is viable in sanskrit.) Better would be: नमस् करोमि (namas karomi, I make reverence), though often the vocative (sambodhana, = form of address) is हे or भोः he (pron: hey) or bhoḥ, is used. There is no way, really, to say "hello", but perhaps what you might say instead of hello is what has been suggested here.
