Zulu has the best greetings of any language
I was struck today by how Zulu has the best greetings of any language.
Particularly (and their translations):
Sowubona – I see you (used as “hello”)
Hamba kahle – Go well (as “goodbye”)
Sala kahle – Stay well (as “goodbye”)
I guess “God be with ye” which is what “goodbye” came from is alright, but there’s some thing so simple and elegant, yet personal about the Zulu greetings.
