Namaskar/Suprabhat

The word 'suprabhat' is not usually used in Hindi as a substitute for Good Morning. In fact, the English Good Morning does not have any proper usable cultural substitute in Hindi. The only way to say the same greeting in Hindi would be to use 'Namaskar' or a variant 'Namaste'.

Best wishes

Do u know why the asker posted that question? Not for a translation test but to know how a greeting is used. Or are you the asker???
agree Anil Goyal : I am surprised to see the arguments for such an easy word. Roomy is right in what he explained.He didn't disagree with my suggestion. :-)

Thanks:) Anil. I never did disagree. I just wanted to show the difference between a purist approach to language and a conversational one. Thanks again. :)
