Menurut Wikipedia: Namaste (English: /ˈnɑːməsteɪ/ nah-məs-tay; Devanagari: नमस्ते; formal: Namaskar/Namaskaram) is a common spoken valediction or salutation originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is a customary greeting when individuals meet, and a valediction upon their parting. Namaste is derived from Sanskrit and is a combination of two words, "Namaḥ" and "te" (a shorted variant of "tubhyam"). Namaḥ means 'bow', 'obeisance', 'reverential salutation' or 'adoration' [2] and te means 'to you' (dative case of 'you'). Therefore, Namaste literally means "bow to you" translated as "I bow to you".
