The word "namaste" is a Sanskrit greeting commonly used in India. It is a combination of two words - "namaḥ" and "te," which roughly translates to "I bow to you" or "I bow to the God within you."
In the context of greeting someone at the beginning of a conversation or a passage, "namaste" can be translated as "Hello" or "Good morning." It is a respectful way of acknowledging the presence of the other person and showing reverence.
At the end of a conversation or a passage, it is not common to use "namaste" as a way of saying "Goodbye" in the traditional sense. Depending on the context and the relationship between the people involved, it is more typical to use phrases like "Alvida" or "Namaskar" to bid farewell in Hindi. However, in more casual or modern settings, you might come across variations where "namaste" is used as a general farewell, similar to saying "Goodbye."
