意味
Said before going to sleep
文化的背景
Saying 'Shubha Ratri' to elders is a sign of 'Samskara' (good values). It's often accompanied by a slight bow or joining of hands in more traditional homes. In cities like Kathmandu, English 'Good Night' is very common. However, 'Shubha Ratri' is making a comeback in text messages as a way to feel more 'connected' to roots. Radio Nepal and Nepal Television have used 'Shubha Ratri' as their sign-off for decades, making it a nostalgic sound for many generations. The word 'Shubha' is used in almost all Hindu rituals. Wishing someone a 'Shubha' night is seen as a minor spiritual blessing.
The 'Hai' Addition
Adding 'hai' at the end (Shubha ratri hai) makes it sound much more natural and friendly in casual conversation.
Not a Hello
Never, ever use this to say hello. It will make people think you are in a rush to leave!
