The Abunese way of greeting people
This short overview describes the greeting forms used by the Abunese.
In Abun, people don't greet themselves as we Earthlings do (i.e. good morning, greetings, good day, hello, hi, etc.), but they have their own greeting phrases. Let's see them.
-Tay'Rat, the most common greeting form
Tay'Rat literally means "Good Life", and it's one of the most common forms of greetings used by the Abunese. On planet Earth, the usage of "Tay'Rat" is similar to our "Hello" or "Greetings". It can be used in both formal and informal ways. Usually, along with the word, the Abunese greet other people by bowing at them, and the one who's greeted must bow back as a sign of respect. Greeting someone by raising the hand mustn't be done with strangers, otherwise it might be seen as unpolite. A shortened version of the Tay'Rat greeting, similar to our "Hi", is "Ny'Hath" which means "Safe paths". Unlike "Tay'Rat", "Ny'Hath" is used only as an informal greeting.
-Tay'Sakel, Tay'Draban, Tay'Moyep and Tay'Burak. Greeting people in various moments of the day
Just like on planet Earth, the Abunese have different forms of greeting according to the moment of the day. In the morning, people greet themselves by saying "Tay'Sakel", which literally means "Good Sunlight". In the afternoon, they say "Tay'Draban", meaning "Good Passing of the Sun", in the evening, they say "Tay'Moyep" that means "Good Sunset" and during the night, they say "Tay'Burak", literally "Good Darkness". These greetings are the Abunese versions of our "Good morning", "Good afternoon", "Good evening" and "Good night". Like "Tay'Rat" they can be used both formally and informally.
