How do you spell hello in Malayalam?

The most common and natural way to say "hello" in Malayalam is "namaste" (നമസ്തേ). This is a respectful greeting, often used for both formal and informal situations.

Here are some other options, depending on the context:

* "shubham" (ശുഭം) - This means "good" and can be used as a general greeting, similar to "good morning" or "good afternoon".

* "enikku ningalodu shabdam" (എനിക്ക് നിങ്ങളോട് ശബ്ദം) - This literally means "I have a word for you" and is a more formal way to say "hello" or "may I speak with you?".

It's worth noting that Malayalam doesn't have a direct equivalent for "hello" in the same way English does.
