What is How are in Tibetan?

The Tibetan phrase for "How are you?" depends on the context and level of formality.

Here are a few options:

Informal:

* ཁྱེད་རང་གསལ་བ་ཡིན་ནམ། (khye rang salwa yin nam?) - This literally translates to "Are you well?" and is the most common informal greeting.

Formal:

* ཁྱེད་རང་ཇི་འདྲ་ཡིན་ནམ། (khye rang ji dra yin nam?) - This translates to "How are you?" and is used when addressing someone of higher status or in a formal setting.

More polite:

* ཁྱེད་རང་གསལ་བ་ཡིན་ནམ། བདེ་མོ་ཡིན་ནམ། (khye rang salwa yin nam? de mo yin nam?) - This adds "Are you happy?" to the informal greeting, making it more polite.

Note:

* Tibetan is written right to left, so the phrase should be read from the right side of the page to the left.

* The pronunciation might vary slightly depending on the region and dialect.

You can use any of these phrases to ask someone how they are in Tibetan.
