🌞 1. Why Time-Based Greetings Matter

Unlike some languages, Hindi speakers often use Namaste throughout the day. However, expressions like Shubh Prabhat (Good Morning) or Shubh Ratri (Good Night) are also understood and used in many formal settings, schools, ceremonies, books, greeting cards, speeches, and media.

Learning both styles helps you communicate more naturally in different situations.
