Did you know?
- The word sauhrida (friendship) comes from Sanskrit roots that describe a state of being 'good at heart'.
- Because sauhrida is a formal term, saying this phrase in a casual text message to a best friend might actually sound slightly poetic or overly dramatic.
- Even though you are only delivering one greeting, the word āśansakaḷ is plural. It is a cultural standard in Malayalam to offer multiple 'wishes' rather than a single 'wish' during celebrations.
