My comprehension/ comments on Namaste 🙏❤️🙏 . . . !!
The sanskrit word 'Namaste' is one of the 'non-translatable sanskrit' words. Exact transition is not possible – it is not just a 'hallo'; it has much deeper meaning !
Grammatically, Namaste (नमस्ते) is euphonic combination (सन्धि) of two words: Namah (नमः) and Te (ते).

1. Namah (नमः) = A timeless sacred and deeply respectful bow down (to somebody/ someone/something) in reverence with hands in 'anjali-mudra'. . . .
2. Te (ते) – In grammatical parlance it is,

• Singular "dative case" of You (युष्मद्) in 'All the Genders'; [[ meaning thereby, "I sacredly bow down in deep reverence with profound respect to 'You' with my hands in 'anjali-mudra'. . . . "]]

• Plural "nominative case" of That (तद्) in 'Masculine and Neutral Genders'; [[ meaning thereby, "I sacredly bow down in deep reverence with profound respect to 'All Those (beings in the realm of 'Real') with my hands in 'anjali-mudra'. . . . "]]

• Dual "nominative and accusative cases" of That (तद्) in 'Feminine Gender' [[ meaning thereby, "I sacredly bow down in deep reverence with profound respect to 'Those Feminine energies (Shakti/ शक्ति – creative/ destructive; pair-of-two (द्वंद्व)), in the realm of 'Cosmic creation' with my hands in 'anjali-mudra'. . . . "]]

Namaste 🙏🧘🙏
