A comprehensive guide to introducing yourself in both English and Nepali, categorized by formality, with practical examples for various situations and people.

Key Formal Phrases:

  • English: Hello / Good morning. My name is [Full Name].
  • Nepali: नमस्ते / शुभ - प्रभात। मेरो नाम [Full Name] हो।
    (Namaste / Shubha - Prabhat. Mero naam [Full Name] ho.)

2. Informal Introductions (Friends, Peers, Neighbors)

In informal situations, you use casual greetings and often state where you are from or your profession simply.

Key Informal Phrases:
