Cultural Tips for Spoken Nepali

Nepali has distinct levels of honorific politeness. When speaking to elders, strangers, or respected professionals, it is customary to use the high-respect honorific pronoun तपाईं (Tapai / Tapain) and end sentences politely with हजुर (Hajur) or होला (Hola). For casual friends and younger family members, people use तिमी (Timi).
