Chaldean words for welcoming someone

A greeting is a small, repeatable moment that gives a new learner a reason to speak. Begin with a few courteous entries before trying a long introduction.

Your vocabulary set

Read each English meaning alongside the Syriac spelling and phonetic guide. Open an entry to copy the text or explore related words.

Try it in context

Imagine a guest arriving. Find the greeting first, then identify the words you would need if you wanted to thank them or politely get their attention.

Make this set memorable

Choose the entry you are least confident about and write down its English meaning. Look away, try recalling its phonetic guide, and then check the original entry. Repeat with a second word from this set. Review the same words tomorrow before adding a new topic.

These are individual dictionary entries. Their forms and natural use can depend on dialect and grammar; combining them does not automatically produce a correct sentence. Ask a willing speaker about the words in this particular situation.
