Basic Greetings[edit | edit source]

Hello[edit | edit source]

The most common way to say hello in Bashkir is "әссәләмһәләйкүм" (ässäläm-häläyküm), which means "peace be upon you". This greeting is widely used and shows respect and goodwill towards the person you are greeting. The response to this greeting is "ваәләйкүм әссәләм" (väläyküm ässäläm), which means "and peace be upon you". Let's take a look at the table below for more examples:

Bashkir	Pronunciation	English
әссәләмһәләйкүм	ässäläm-häläyküm	Hello (peace be upon you)
ваәләйкүм әссәләм	väläyküm ässäläm	And peace be upon you

Goodbye[edit | edit source]

To say goodbye in Bashkir, you can use the word "ҡайтала" (qaytala), which means "goodbye" or "farewell". This is a general way to bid farewell to someone. Another common way to say goodbye is "сау булығыз" (saw bulıģız), which translates to "stay well" or "be well". This phrase is often used when parting ways with someone. Let's see some examples in the table below:

Bashkir	Pronunciation	English
ҡайтала	qaytala	Goodbye
сау булығыз	saw bulıģız	Stay well / Be well

How are you?[edit | edit source]

In Bashkir, the phrase "каныңыз яҡшы ми?" (qanıñız yaqşı mi?) is used to ask "How are you?". This is a common greeting used to inquire about someone's well-being. The response to this question can vary, but a common response is "рәхмәт, яҡшымын" (räxmät, yaqşımın), which means "Thank you, I'm fine". Let's take a look at the table below for more examples:

Bashkir	Pronunciation	English
каныңыз яҡшы ми?	qanıñız yaqşı mi?	How are you?
рәхмәт, яҡшымын	räxmät, yaqşımın	Thank you, I'm fine

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Greetings in the Bashkir language hold deep cultural significance. Bashkirs are known for their warm and hospitable nature, and greetings play a vital role in establishing a friendly atmosphere. When greeting someone, it is customary to shake hands and make eye contact. This shows respect and creates a personal connection.

In some rural areas of Bashkortostan, it is still common for people to greet each other by saying "сау булығыз" (saw bulıģız) and giving a warm hug. This reflects the close-knit community and the importance of personal connections in Bashkir culture.

It is also worth mentioning that greetings may vary depending on the time of day. In the morning, it is common to say "сәбәх булығыз" (säbäh bulıģız), which means "good morning". In the afternoon, "төшкән булығыз" (töşkän bulıģız), meaning "good afternoon", is used. In the evening, people greet each other by saying "көн булығыз" (kön bulıģız), which translates to "good evening".
