“’Salaam aleykum,’ ‘waleykum a-salaam.’ That’s ‘peace be onto you.’ ‘Maharban,’ that’s ‘hello.’ If I’m meeting someone for the first time, I would say, ‘Marhaban, ishmi Asha.’ ‘It’s a pleasure to meet you, my name is Asha.’ I would sometimes say, ‘am didiat,’ that’s saying, ‘I’m going operations,’ or ‘operations.’ Sometimes I will say, ‘Kay fa har loo ka,’ that’s to a guy saying, ‘How are you doing?’ Or to a woman, ‘Kay fa har loo ki.’ So ‘ka’ and ‘ki,’ that’s what makes [the] difference as far as saying ‘how are you doing?’ I would sometimes say, ‘Shu fi ma fi,’ that’s, ‘What are you doing?’ So, those are some of the greetings I pretty much say here and there. And it’s tough, Asian languages, as far as adapting to and comparing to Western languages, it’s very, very hard.”
